SOUTHERN CATHEDRALS FESTIVAL SOCIETY

Arranges annual festivals of English Cathedral Music with four to five days of services and concerts based around the daily liturgy, based alternately in Chichester, Winchester and Salisbury Cathedrals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
