THE FRIENDS OF TRURO CATHEDRAL 

Income is received from annual subscriptions, investment income and fund raising. Legacies are irregularly received. Grants are awarded to the fabric of Truro Cathedral, its musical foundation, flower guild and other projects as agreed at annual general meeting.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
