YORKSHIRE'S BRAIN TUMOUR CHARITY

YBTC is Yorkshire's leading brain tumour charity dedicated to raising funds for life changing research and patient support.Our vision is clear and simple, to cure a devastating disease that affects so many people. Whilst we are working to find a cure, we will provide the best patient and family support network we can.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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
