ST MARY DE CASTRO PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

The Charity is a Church of England Parish Church and activities include public workship and weddings and funerals
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

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
