    WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL TRUST

    To raise funds and receive donations to apply to any charitable purpose connected with Winchester Cathedral.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
