TURNERS HILL FREE CHURCH

The church is open for public worship every Sunday morning. There is a weekly morning prayer meeting which is open to all ladies, a children's group operates every Tuesday morning and a monthly community lunch which is open to all senior citizens. There are no charges made for any of these activities. The church hall is available outside these times by pre-arrangement for use by the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 4 trustees
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
