HOSPICE AFRICA LIMITED

Hospice Africa provides or supports the provision of palliative care to cancer and HIV/AIDS patients in Sub-Saharan Africa, excluding South Africa.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 31 years
