ROYAL BERKSHIRE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST CHARITY

The Charity seeks to secure donations, legacies, and sponsorship to enhance the care and treatment available to patients at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust. Through the provision of grants they support projects which improve patient care and the hospital environment, medical equipment, health education, staff development and welfare, and that fall outside of the remit of the NHS.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity uses a corporate trustee

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
