To enhance the benefits of patients and staff in the services we provide within the NHS and where appropriate support research and development.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity uses a corporate trustee

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
