Maintenance of historic abbey and chapelCreation of visitor facilities for abbey and surrounding historic landscapeInterpretation of historic Benedictine spirituality into 21st century setting
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
