THE MANCHESTER CATHEDRAL VISITOR CENTRE 

Providing a visitor centre at Manchester Cathedral for the benefit of the residents of Manchester and its visitors.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
