THE LIZARD AND MOUNTS BAY METHODIST CIRCUIT

The Lizard & Mount's Bay Methodist Circuit exists to provide support and oversight for the 14 Methodist Churches within its boundary enabling them to share the love of God by word and in action in their local communities
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 52 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
