THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF SHERE

We are a Church of England Parish that is one of three in a United Benefice. We seek to be open and inclusive in spirit, broad and central in Anglican churchmanship (neither high nor low), and active in serving all who live in our parish. We provide a wide range of Church Services, opportunities to explore and develop faith, pastoral support, and a Christian presence at the heart of our community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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 18 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
