ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF SOUTHWARK

The charity's aims are to establish, maintain, and advance the Roman Catholic religion in the area of the Archdiocese, or in connection with the Archdiocese of Southwark. The practical aims are to support the parochial and diocesan structure of the Catholic Church as set out from time to time in the rules and regulations of the Church, known as the code of Canon Law.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £101,312,098 available, equivalent to 44 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
