UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE CHARITY 

As the charity for University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (University Hospital and the Hospital of St Cross) and Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust we exist to make things better for patients, their families and the staff who treat them. We provide funding for important equipment, pioneering research and all the important extras that makes the care so special.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,526,000 available, equivalent to 38 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
