SOWTER CLERICAL LIBRARY 

The charity gives an annual grant to Sarum College, which now houses the books which formed the Sowter Clerical Library when it was ran as a separate entity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
