COPING WITH CANCER - NORTH EAST

We provide emotional, mental, social and physical health support for anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis. We do this through personal one to one support over time, enabling the client to develop their own coping strategies and experience our range of complementary therapies and counselling, all delivered by qualified staff.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
