TRUST PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE PRIORY OF OUR LADY OF WALSINGHAM 

The principal activity of the charity is prayer and through the Sisters' way of life, thereby seeking to witness to the presence of Christ among those with whom they live, meet and work.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
