THE HOSPICE CHARITY PARTNERSHIP

The Company's objects are for the public benefit: the advancement of health, care and support for people living with a potentially life limiting illness who are, or who have been, patients of the hospice including the provision of support and advice to their family and friends and such other charitable activities as the Directors shall think fit.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
