RIPON CATHEDRAL DEVELOPMENT CAMPAIGN

The charity adopted the following strategies:a) To build on the successful events programme by improving the quality and profitability of core events;b) To expand the membership of both Patrons and the Music Custodians whilst delivering the benefits of membership;c) To generate income from appropriate Charitable Trusts and Heritage Organisations;d) To maintain a firm control on costs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
