VINEYARD CHURCHES UK AND IRELAND

The advancement of the Christian faith including missionary activities in the United Kingdom and overseas, including, but not limited to, the planting of new churches. This is achieved by planting new churches to provide public Christian worship, propogate Christian beliefs to bring hope and reason to those in need, spread ethical values to society as a whole, and contribute to social action

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
