MEDICINE FOR THE WORLD 

The Charity obtain donations of original, unused, in-date medical supplies from the UK which would otherwise be wasted and send them to hospitals and clinics in resource poor locations which have specific needs for them.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
