THE BRITISH KIDNEY PATIENT ASSOCIATION

To improve quality of life for those affected by kidney disease by: giving financial support to kidney patients in need; making grants to renal units to improve care by funding staff posts, capital works and equipment/projects; providing advice, information, support and services; campaigning to inform policy and practice at all levels; and supporting multi-professional, patient-centred research.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but very substantial unrestricted reserves are available
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised

Established: 49 years
