DRAGONFLY CANCER TRUST

The charity supports young cancer patients up to and including their 25th birthday who are palliative. Dragonfly Dreams and Cash Gifts of up to £500 are given, with the emphasis on creating memories. Specialist Arts and Craft boxes are donated to young people's cancer wards across the U.K.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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