THE FRIENDS OF GLOUCESTER CATHEDRAL 

RAISING MONEY TO BE APPLIED TOWARDS THE UPKEEP OF GLOUCESTER CATHEDRAL AND SUPPORTING THE RELIGIOUS AND MUSICAL STANDARDS OF THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
