ROYAL MEDICAL BENEVOLENT FUND 

2.1 The objects of the Charity are to prevent or relieve poverty and to relieve need arising from youth, age, ill health, disability and bereavement among people who are doctors or who have worked as doctors, and medical students and the dependants of such individuals
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £34,856,181 available, equivalent to 242 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
