CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL TRUST FUND

The Trust supports the priorities of Canterbury Cathedral, and raises awareness of the site and its significance, its heritage value and its activities. The charity raises funds to: conserve the building and its collections; enhance access and interpretation; develop the site as a centre for learning; promote the choral music tradition; and create sustainable opportunities for craftsmen and women.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
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:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £6,538,695 available, equivalent to 89 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised

Established: 18 years
