THE HEREFORD DIOCESAN GUILD OF BELLRINGERS BELL RESTORATION FUND

Provides financial grants to PCCs in the Hereford Diocese and certain border parishes for the restoration of church bells for full-circle ringing.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities

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 recently
