CHRIST CHURCH CREEKMOOR

We are the Church at the heart of Creekmoor aiming to love God through Christian worship, raising up disciples of all ages to love & to serve. We aim to love our neighbours by serving our community unconditionally, providing activities and facilities, accessible & available to all, supporting children, families, young people, older people & vulnerable adults through the Church Community Hub.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 19 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
