TO FACILITATE AND PROMOTE THE RELIEF, CARE AND TREATMENT OF THE SICK, ESPECIALLY OF THE DYING, AND THE SUPPORT AND CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES AND CARERS AND OF THE BEREAVED.TO FACILITATE AND PROMOTE THE CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES OF INDEPENDENT HOSPICES
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
