THE FRIENDS OF ST MARY'S PETWORTH 

the Friends of St Mary's Petworth was established to help maintain the historic church as the community centre for music and the arts and other non-spiritual activities such as the Petworth Festival and Petworth Literary Festival. During 2013 we carried out a major project to update and improve the sound system. During 2015 we carried out a major project to improve the Nave lighting.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
