TRINITY HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE SERVICES LTD

Provision of palliative care services to the communities of Blackpool Fylde and Wyre

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
Income generation is well diversified
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £27,724,145 available, equivalent to 30 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
