4 CANCER GROUP

Our primary objective is to provide a wide range of respite opportunities for British families living with cancer. From family days out to longer respite breaks in the UK and abroad, we give families living with cancer something to look forward. Our respite programmes also give families the chance to spend quality time together whilst providing valuable memories.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 4 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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 has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 22 years
