THE FRIENDS OF LLANDAFF CATHEDRAL

The Friends of Llandaff Cathedral exists to support the Dean & Chapter by providing grants for the maintenance and enhancement of LlandaffCathedral, its buildings, contents and surroundings, and to support its traditions of worship including its music and choirs. To do this, we collect subscriptions from our members and receive donations, bequests and legacies.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
This charity only provides its support via other charities
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £657,621 available, equivalent to 162 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
