CICELY SAUNDERS INTERNATIONAL

Our mission is to promote research to improve the care and treatment of all patients with progressive illness and to make high-quality palliative care available to everyone who needs it: be it in hospice, hospital or home. There is no other charity specifically concerned with carrying out work to identify and promote best practice in palliative care.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,404,095 available, equivalent to 96 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
