To relieve and support persons who are suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and provide support for their carers, families and dependants, raising funds via a range of events, community, corporate and individual donations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
