THE DAISY GARLAND 

The Daisy Garland exists to support children and young adults with drug-resistant epilepsy and their families. The work of the charity is life-changing and life-saving.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
