EXETER ST. MARK CHURCH BELLS RESTORATION FUND 

Ringing was back to normal after the pandemic with 12 quarter peals and 8 peals being rung. The bells were also rung for Sunday services and on Christmas morning. A bell was tolled 96 times both for the death and then the funeral of The Queen in September. The ropes of the ninth and seventh had new tail ends and sallies spliced in. The Ringing World National Youth Competition visited the tower.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
