FRIENDS OF ST PAULS 

Council aims to achieve the Friends' objects of fellowship and fundraising to support St Paul's often in both time and money, by promoting membership of the Friends, producing the twice-yearly Dome magazine, organising self-financing social activities for members, and making financial grants to the Corporation of the Cathedral Church of St Paul in London out of net funds raised including legacies.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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: 53 years
