EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CATARACT AND REFRACTIVE SURGEONS LIMITED

The activities of the Company include the promotion of education and research in the field of implant and refractive surgery and the study and practice of ophthalmology and research. It also promotes experimental work in the field of intraocular lens implantation and refractive surgery.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
