THE CANTORIS CHARITABLE TRUST 

To support financially, gifted children to enable them to become, and continue as, Choristers at Canterbury Cathedral, where their own, or their families' financial circumstances would not otherwise permit this to happen.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male

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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
