THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF FURNACE GREEN ST. ANDREW 

We are a modern evangelical Anglican church, primarily ministering to the needs to the local community of Furnace Green, Crawley including St Andrew's primary school which adjoins our church building. In addition to worship on a Sunday, the Church operates a number of ministries including Children & Families, Youth and a community cafe.
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
  • 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
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are 15 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
