BRAIN INJURY IS BIG 

Provision of advice, information, and support to families and carers of people suffering from severe brain injuries
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • 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 but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
