    The Charity's Funds are used to promote the well being of patients, volunteers and staff by improving/enhancing facilities and equipment, enhance training and development, providing opportunities for events, excursions, recognition and rewards.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
