THE FRIENDS OF ST MARY'S RYE 

Friends of St Mary's Constitution: 'To contribute to the maintenance, repair, preservation, of the church's fabric, its monuments, fixtures, chattels, as well as the churchyard, to the benefit of Rye's residents and visitors - a place at the heart of the town for communal activities, including religious worship, civic events, concerts and other major events'
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
  • Spending is declining
