THE UNITED REFORMED CHURCH, BROADWAY, CHARITY
The Charity was registered on 12! March 2010 under Trusts distilled from The United Reformed Church Acts of Parliament(1971 and 1982) and the Scheme of Union. It took over responsibility for those assets of The United Reformed Church, Broadway not vested in other Trustees.
The Charity number is 1134894, and the working name is Broadway URC.
The address of the Church is 77 High Street, Broadway, Worcestershire, WR12 7AL
The Trustees at 31% December 2025 were: Mrs M.J. Tunwell, Rev. K. Louch, Mrs C. Browne, Mr C.D. Walters and the Rev I. D, McLaren.
The Object of the Charity is the advancement of the Christian Faith for the benefit of the public, in accordance with the Scheme of Union of the United Reformed Church. The Church is part of the West Midlands Synod of the United Reformed Church, and its membership comes from Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. The Trustees are the same as the serving Elders of the Church and are elected by the Church Members at the Annual Church Meeting in March. Decisions are made by Church Meeting on recommendation from the Elders.
The Church’s Mission Statement is “To know Jesus better, and to make Him better known”. To this end the Church holds services each Sunday morning and at other times. Occasionally other types of service are held to attract those for whom formal worship is unattractive. We also hold programmes of study. There are mid-week activities for the elderly, focussing on wellbeing, and for those with mental issues and their carers. All of these are open to anyone who wishes to attend.
Our financial position remains strong with our net worth increasing by around £9,500 over the last year to £344,337. This is a result of an excess of income over expenditure of approximately £22,750 offset by a reduction in the market value of-our investments by around £13,250.
