We provide support for our member charities through nationwide fundraising and advocacy, advice and guidance.The funds raised and wider support provided enable the health service to go above and beyond what would otherwise be possible.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year but the charity has substantial reserves available
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
