THE COLLEGE OF MATRONS

Applicants must be resident within the dioceses of Salisbury, Winchester, Portsmouth, Bath & Wells, Exeter or Truro.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
