ASSOCIATION OF FRIENDS OF LEICESTER CATHEDRAL 

The Charity is established to assist and support the Dean and Chapter of Leicester Cathedral in furthering the religious and charitable work of the Cathedral.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
