MANCHESTER CATHEDRAL DEVELOPMENT TRUST 

The improvement, enhancement and major refurbishment of Manchester Cathedral, its fabric and grounds and the provision of new facilities and equipment of general benefit to Manchester Cathedral and the community served by Manchester Cathedral.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
