THE ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL CHORISTER TRUST

The Trust provides bursaries to the families of choristers of St Paul's Cathedral in cases of financial hardship or lack of means to defray the costs of boarding. It also provides grants to the cathedral towards the education of choristers. In addition it makes grants to the Cathedral School to assist in the costs relating to the fabric or for other projects within the foundations objectives.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
