THE ALTERNATIVE HAIR CHARITABLE FOUNDATION 

We are a grant making charity founded in January 2012 with a particular interest in the advancement of research into and the treatment and welfare of people, especially children, suffering leukaemia and related cancers of the blood. We make grants to carefully selected charities that meet these criteria
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
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
