THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARTIN, LISKEARD

The PCC is required, as stated in the Parochial Church (Powers) Measure 1956, to co-operate with the Priest in Charge in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for St Martin's Church and St Martin's Centre in Church Street, Liskeard.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are 14 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
