THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BEMERTON, SALISBURY 

As a Church of England Church, we provide buildings and facilities for Christian worship and teaching and opportunities for Bible study and fellowship with others. We conduct marriage, baptism and funeral services for those who live within the Ecclesiastical parish or have qualifying connections with it. We provide pastoral care and encourage community life to flourish throughout the whole parish
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
