THE BLOOD CARE FOUNDATION 

The principal activity is the supply and distribution of screened blood, resuscitation fluids, sterile transfusion equipment, rabies immunoglobulin and vaccines.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 33 years
