YORK AGAINST CANCER

To raise funds to support cancer patients and advance the alleviation and cure of cancer.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,261,666 available, equivalent to 28 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
