LEV ECHOD CANCER CARE

The charity aims to relieve the needs of people diagnosed with cancer, their families and carers by providing or funding the provision of support and assistance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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