ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH NEUROLOGISTS

The aim of the Association of British Neurologists is to improve the health and well-being of people with neurological disorders by advancing the knowledge and practice of neurology in the British Isles. It also oversees scientific meetings, bursaries to facilitate educational and research visits to developing countries and offers financial and administrative support for ABN trainees.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender 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
  • Why are there 18 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
