The Friends of Llandaff Cathedral

The Friends of Llandaff Cathedral exists to support the Dean & Chapter by providing grants for the maintenance and enhancement of LlandaffCathedral, its buildings, contents and surroundings, and to support its traditions of worship including its music and choirs. To do this, we collect subscriptions from our members and receive donations, bequests and legacies.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

From the annual returns the charity filed with the Charity Commission. The largest funder comes from its accounts, read by AI.

Government grants in the year ending 31 December 2025: Not reported. Government contracts: Not reported.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

These figures were read from the accounts the charity filed with the Charity Commission by Claude, an AI model, in OpenEconomy's accounts reader. AI can misread a table, so check the accounts on the register before relying on a figure.

Only funding the accounts name with an amount is included. Most charities also have income from donations, fees and trading that is not listed by funder, so this is part of its income.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
