ANTIOCH NETWORK MANCHESTER

The objectives of the Antioch Network are to develop and sustain Christian Mission to support and strengthen the work and ministry of the Church of England in the Diocese of Manchester, by planting small churches in areas of social and economic deprivation and multicultural diversity. Service of worship, prayer, pastoral support and reaching out to those in need will be the main activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
