THE HUMANE RESEARCH TRUST 

The promotion and encouragement of medical and scientific research and learning for the benefit of the public and, in particular, in fields which may lead to the elimination of the use of animals in research.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,998,548 available, equivalent to 55 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
