    NORWICH CATHEDRAL TRUST 

    The support of such charitable purposes connected with the Cathedral and the Dean and Chapter as the Trustees shall from time to time in their absolute discretion determine.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity only provides its support via other charities

    Financial issues to consider:

    Established: 26 years
