THE MARTLETS HOSPICE LIMITED

Martlets provides the very best care and support to terminally ill people in Brighton and Hove, and surrounding areas. Most people receive expert care from us in their own homes. Outpatients visit our hospice for pain relief and practical advice, and we also have an 18-bed inpatient unit.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
