THE FRIENDS OF CATHEDRAL MUSIC

The objects of the charity are to advance the education of the public in the art of music with special reference to choral services in cathedrals, collegiate churches and chapels and other appropriate places of worship.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
