THE FACIAL SURGERY RESEARCH FOUNDATION - SAVING FACES 

Saving Faces aims to reduce the incidence of oral cancers, injury and disfigurement by leading and promoting research into the prevention, causes and treatment of these conditions. We fund the National Facial, Oral and Oculoplastic Research Centre, the National Head and Neck Audit, a patient-to-patient helpline, the Saving Faces Diagnostic Advice Service, PhD studentships and clinical fellowships.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

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
