    CATHOLIC TRUST FOR ENGLAND AND WALES 

    To promote the Catholic religion principally, but not exclusively, in England and Wales.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
    • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

    Financial issues to consider:

    • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £44,147,315 available, equivalent to 54 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
    Established: 21 years
