BOWEL DISEASE RESEARCH FOUNDATION 

The objectives of the Charity are the relief of patients suffering from bowel disease and the promotion of research into causes, prevention and treatment of the disease.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
