SOCIAL CARE INSTITUTE FOR EXCELLENCE

SCIE improves the lives of people who use care services by sharing knowledge about what works. We are an independent charity working with social care and social work services across the UK. Our work helps to improve the knowledge and skills of those working in care services. People who use these services and their families also use our resources to make informed decisions about their care.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
