THE EAST LANCASHIRE HOSPICE

Provide specialist palliative and supportive care for the residents of Blackburn, Darwen, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley. We aim to enhance the quality of life for people who have a life limiting illness and their families. Access to our facilities is free, whether in the hospice, the community or in their own home. Specialist resources are also available to other providers of palliative care

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £15,294,352 available, equivalent to 46 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
