THE FRIENDS OF GUY'S AND ST THOMAS' HOSPITAL

The charity provides amenities to improve the comfort of the patients & staff of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. Medical research is also supported & substantial grants made for works of improvement benefiting patients, staff & visiting relatives. The charity is able, from time to time, to purchase medical & surgical equipment which the Trust is unable to fund from its own budget.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 19 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
