CHASING ZERO 

Chasing Zero is working to provide access to treatment for those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. The charity is engaging young people in the UK with the global issues of HIV/AIDS and inspiring them to fundraise and campaign to support local projects overseas.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
