THE BLUE RIBBON FOUNDATION

The Blue Ribbon Foundation is an educational charity with a mission to educate men and their partners to the benefits of living a healthy life. Male health and wellbeing is at our core.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
