CANCER SUPPORT SUFFOLK

Set up in 1998,Cancer Support Suffolk, helps people before, during and after cancer.Our dedicated team includes complementary therapists,counsellors, educators, ambassadors and business brains that come together to educate and support the people of Suffolk about cancer. We are inherently local.We believe in this little slice of the UK, it's home.That's why all money raised stays within the county.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
