THE BRITISH CONTACT LENS ASSOCIATION LIMITED

To promote excellence in research, manufacture and clinical practice of contact lenses and related areasRefereed journal, conference, courses, dissemination of information in the field on contact lenses

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age 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
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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