UROSTOMY ASSOCIATION

The Association provides support, information and advocacy for people undergoing urinary diversion surgery of any kind. Support is provided via local Branches which hold regular meetings, production of a magazine three times a year and leaflets on relevant topics. There is also a helpline service.The Association also represents those with a urinary diversion.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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