THE ASSOCIATION OF ENGLISH CATHEDRALS 

As representative of the Chapters of the Anglican cathedrals, the AEC deals with governmental agencies, central Church bodies and other organisations on behalf of the cathedrals, although it cannot commit any individual Chapter to a specific decision. It also promotes the role of cathedrals and encourages sharing of best practice and information to assist cathedrals in fulfilling their purposes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
miles
