THE SOUTHERN SPINAL INJURIES TRUST 

Provision of equipment and assistance to sufferers of spinal cord injury and to the Duke of Cornwall's Spinal Treatment Centre at Salisbury District Hospital
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
