DROITWICH AED

The advancement of health or the saving of lives by reducing Post-Cardiac Arrest fatalities in Droitwich Spa and surrounding Worcestershire in particular, but not exclusively, by providing and maintaining Community Public Access Defibrillators (AEDs)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
