THE FRIENDS OF ARUNDEL CATHEDRAL 

The maintenance, support, service, carrying on and development of the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady and St Philip Howard at Arundel, West Sussex.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
Established: 24 years
