The Work of the Friends
Project News
Each year The Friends' annual income is made available to the Cathedral towards projects put forward by the Dean and Chapter. Often the Friends finance the whole project but we also jointly fund projects with English Heritage or other funding organisations.
2008 Programme
Below we show how the Friends' money was spent in 2008. It shows only the grants paid in 2008. Grants cannot always be spent in the year in which they are authorised and so some may be two years old or more. Once a grant has been made, the Friends put no time limit on it.
