Provision of exercise and other facilities to patients who are recovering from heart attacks and other forms of coronary disability
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end
