THE ARTHUR WILLIAMS CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Trust's principal activity is to apply the income and such parts of the capital of the fund as the trustees think fit at their absolute discretion for or towards the funding of choristers in Chichester Cathedral, for the funding and support of charitable projects initiated by Chichester Cathedral, for or towards saving lives at sea and such other charitable purposes as the trustees think fit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
