THE BISHOP OF BLACKBURN'S FUND FOR THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF POOR CLERGY

TO HELP CLERGY WIDOWS AND RETIRED CLERGY IN CASES OF FINANCIAL HARDSHIP, PARTICULARLY WITH HOUSING COSTS. SOCIAL EVENTS ARE HELD AND THE SERVICES OF A DIOCESAN OFFICER AND VISITORS ARE PROVIDED.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
