IPSWICH METHODIST CIRCUIT

PROVIDING PASTORAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT TO CHURCHES WITHIN THE IPSWICH METHODIST CIRCUIT
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 70 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
