BIRMINGHAM HOSPITAL SATURDAY FUND MEDICAL CHARITY AND WELFARE TRUST 

To provide comforts and amenities for patients or staff in hospitals and medical charities, assist medical research, education and science, and support charitable organisations concerned with the sick or disadvantaged.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
