THE FRIENDS OF THE CHURCH OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST, BROMSGROVE

The Charity raises funds for the maintenance and enhancement of the ancient church of St John the Baptist, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire and assists in the management of projects to deliver these benefits that secondarily benefit the residents of Bromsgrove District.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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