SOUTHGATE (THE BOURNE) METHODIST CHURCH

CHRISTIAN WORSHIP IN THE METHODIST TRADITION AND WORK WITHCHILDREN/YOUNG PEOPLEELDERLY/OLD PEOPLEPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESOTHER CHARITIES OR VOLUNTARY BODIESTHE GENERAL PUBLIC/MANKIND

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
There are 16 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
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
