SOUTHPORT METHODIST CIRCUIT

We are the UK Methodist Church in Southport (including Scarisbrick). It supports the Presbyters and staff with administration. Where directed by its Managing Trustees, through the Circuit Meeting, it supports other charities with small donations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 26 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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
