NEWCASTLE CATHEDRAL TRUST

The raising and short term accumulation of funds for the benefit of the Cathedral, in particular the organisation of a fund raising scheme to finance a major refurbishment project within the next five years
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
