THE ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF SALISBURY CATHEDRAL 

The Friends of Salisbury Cathedral exists to support the Dean & Chapter of Salisbury Cathedral, through its objects in the constitution. To do this we collect members subscriptions, receive donations, bequests and legacies and offer grants to the Cathedral. We come together in a common fellowship of loyalty and devotion to care for the Cathedral.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is predominantly male

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
