KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL CHARITY

The charity's mission is to work for the benefit of patients and service users of King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust across all its sites, and where considered appropriate, other bodies relating to the NHS in England, by enhancing services and facilities, supporting research and development and improving the working environment for staff.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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:

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but very substantial unrestricted reserves are available
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
