BUDE METHODIST CHURCH

Bude Methodist Church offers opportunities and facilities for the public to take part in Christian Worship events, such as services, prayer meetings, singing and bible study. We also offer opportunities for fellowship with each other and to invite community members to social events, such as fundraising via coffee mornings, craft club, youth group, luncheon club and varied social opportunities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 33 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
