NEWBURY CANCER CARE 

The charity provides practical help to cancer patients and their families from diagnosis through to end of life care. We have a team of volunteer drivers who provide transport to and from hospital for appointments and treatment. Cash grants can be made available where appropriate. We fund various services through the Palliative Care Service and are the parent charity for the Rainbow Hospice Rooms
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 10 years
