THE FRIENDS OF THE MINSTER CHURCH OF SAINTS THOMAS, NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT 

CURRENTLY RUNNING A SUBSTANTIAL RENEWAL CAMPAIGN ON BEHALF OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL TO COVER MAJOR WORKS TO FABRIC TO ENABLE GREATER COMMUNITY USE.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
