IMPERIAL HEALTH CHARITY

Imperial Health Charity helps our hospitals do more through grants, arts, volunteering and fundraising. Supporting the five London hospitals of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, we fund major redevelopments, research and medical equipment, manage a vibrant art collection and run a dynamic hospital volunteering programme - above and beyond what the NHS can do on its own.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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 high relative to funds raised
