FRIENDS OF THE ROYAL MARSDEN, CHELSEA

To supplement the services provided by the Royal Marsden Hospital by contributing to the provision of facilities, refurbishments and equipment that may benefit the health, welfare or comfort of its patients, former patients, their families or staff.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £875,529 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
