HOPE CHURCH

We seek to demonstrate our Christian Faith by helping and providing services to the people of Dawlish and surrounding areas. We welcome people of all ages and faith or no faith. We hold a service each Sunday as well as other activities through the week.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
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
