CHILDREN'S LIVER DISEASE FOUNDATION 

The mission of the charity is to work nationally to take action against the effects of childhood liver disease by providing information, emotional support, research funds and a voice for all affected.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

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 has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 26 years
