ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF OBESITY

To promote professional awareness of obesity and its impact on health. To educate and disseminate recent research on the causes, consequences, treatment and prevention of obesity. To prioritise obesity and provide opinion leadership in the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

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
