THE NEUROLOGICAL ALLIANCE 

We are a coalition of more than 100 organisations working together to transform quality of life for people with neurological conditions in England. We raise awareness and understanding of neurological conditions to ensure that every person diagnosed has access to high quality, joined up services and information from their first symptoms, and throughout their life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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

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
