THE CORNWALL RETIRED CLERGY, WIDOWS OF THE CLERGY AND THEIR DEPENDANTS FUND 

Providing grants to any widow, widower, former spouse, separated spouse or a child of a deceased member of the clergy in the Diocese of Truro who are in need by reason of poverty.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • 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

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
