THE OMEGA COURSE 

We run The Omega Course - a safe and friendly space to talk about Death and Dying, so people develop confidence to think about their own end-of-life issues and to support friends and family to do the same. We free people to plan their bucket list and enjoy the life they have left to live, with the freedom of knowing when illness comes they have a plan. We also offer the course to professionals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
