    EAST AND NORTH HERTFORDSHIRE NHS TRUST CHARITABLE FUND

    East and North Herts Charity supports patients of East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals, including the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre and Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre, through fundraising for additional equipment, better facilities and new research. We provide a benefit to patients and their relatives, by making their stay in hospital more comfortable and easing some of the associated anxiety.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
