THE YOGA IN HEALTHCARE ALLIANCE LTD

YIHA campaigns to integrate the benefits of yoga into healthcare, and runs the NHS-commissioned 10-week Yoga4Health social prescribing programme for NHS patients who need to make lifestyle changes to avoid chronic illness. Part of the charity's remit is to provide information and research on the benefits of yoga, and to support the NHS in tackling non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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