THE WELLS CATHEDRAL CHORISTER TRUST

This has been a year of less overt activity after 5 years of intense fundraising. Significant assistance has been provided to several girl choristers enabling them to remain in the choir. With the consent of The Chairty Commission, the objects of the Trust have been amended so that it can now support both boy and girl choristers. From 1st August 2011 it is The Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
