FRIENDS OF ST MARYS CHURCH, CERNE ABBAS

To help towards the cost of preservation, repair, maintenance, improvement and beautification of the Grade 1 listed building that is St Mary's Church in Cerne Abbas. Over the first 18 months of our existence the emphasis has been on raising awareness of The Friends and fund raising through concerts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
