STICKLER SYNDROME UK 

Principle focus is to provide support, information and signposting for people with Stickler Syndrome across the UK (whether currently diagnosed or not). In addition, we seek to promote awareness amongst medical professionals, government agencies and general public. Communication and activities include website, social media, virtual/physical events, and email/telephone helpline.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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