THE GREEK ORTHODOX COMMUNITY OF HASTINGS

The church is a space open to everyone to come and worship, to get advice from our priest and to speak with committee and community members. There is also a Greek school within the charity that teaches the Modern Greek language to children and adults.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
