THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF COBHAM IN THE DIOCESE OF GUILDFORD

The Parish Church of Cobham, Surrey: part of the Church of England (Anglican)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • 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
  • There are 20 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
