THYROID UK

THYROID UK PROVIDES INFORMATION AND RESOURCES TO PROMOTE EFFECTIVE DIAGNOSIS AND APPROPRIATE TREATMENT FOR PEOPLE WITH THYROID DISORDERS IN THE UK BY PRODUCING AN INFORMATION PACK, A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER, PROVIDING TELEPHONE AND EMAIL SUPPORT VIA THEIR LIST OF SUPPORT NETWORKERS.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
