THE FRIENDS OF THE WORLD OF BEDE

The CIO encourages its members to promote a wider knowledge of the educational and cultural importance of Bede and to support the values of scholarship and innovation as promoted by the Anglo Saxon monastery of Wearmouth/Jarow as continued today at the World According to Bede Museum or its successors known by any other name and/or to promote the legacy of the Venerable Bede generally.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
Income has been volatile recently
