FRIENDS OF BRIGHTON AND HOVE HOSPITALS 

Friends of Brighton & Hove Hospitals work to provide innovative new equipment as well as patient comforts in hospitals and community healthcare facilities across the City.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
