    LEICESTER DIOCESAN GUILD OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS RESTORATION FUND 

    To provide grants to churches in the Diocese of Leicester for the purpose of maintaining and improving their bell installations.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    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
    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
