BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE EDUCATION TRUST (BIOTECHMET) 

Maintenance and development of a free, educational website explaining the history and developments in biotechnology.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
