WEST NORFOLK METHODIST CIRCUIT

West Norfolk Methodist Circuit offers opportunity for Christian worship and service in its 21 churches. It also makes its services available for baptisms, wedding and funerals as well as providing pastoral care. Several volunteers within the Methodist Church are Lay Preachers and many other volunteers take on roles to promote the religious ethos of the charity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are 50 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
