EVIE'S GIFT CIO

We support the families of critically-ill children who are many miles from home in regional childrens hospitals. We provide local hotel accommodation and immediate financial assistance to those that need it.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

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