FRIENDS OF BOURNVILLE CARILLON LIMITED 

The Charity exists to promote the Bournville Carillon and the memory of its founder George Cadbury who installed the rare instrument of 48 bells as a gift to the village in 1906. The 'Friends of Bournville Carillon' operate a Visitor Centre whereby members of the general public can find out more about the carillon and can book a visit to see the carillon being played by the appointed Carillonneur.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
