CHILDREN WITH CANCER FUND (POLEGATE)

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
