SUSSEX CANCER FUND 

To provide financial support for cancer research and for the provision, maintenance and replacement of facilities, equipment and buildings for the Radiotherapy and Oncology department at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
