BREAST CANCER RESEARCH TRUST 

GRANTS TO RECOGNISED RESEARCH UNITS IN HOSPITALS AND UNIVERSITES IN THE UK STUDYING THE CAUSATION, SPREAD AND EFFECTS OF BREAST CANCER IN THE LABORATORY AND IN CLINICAL PRACTICE
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
