PROGRESS EDUCATIONAL TRUST

PET organises public events, works on law and policy, runs educational initiatives, issues print publications, and runs its flagship online publication BioNews - a free weekly email digest of news and comment with a readership of 18,000. The charity's activities in the fields of genetics, assisted conception and embryo/stem cell research are targeted simultaneously at lay and specialist audiences.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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