Support the Chapter of Peterborough Cathedral in the Development and Maintenance of the Cathedral fabric and its operations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
  • 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:

  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently
