THE CURE PARKINSON'S TRUST

The Cure Parkinson's Trust's purpose is to fund research to hasten a cure for this debilitative neurological condition. The charity's primary role is identifying, funding and evaluating research projects, as well as hosting scientific forums to bring relevant scientists within the field together, to discuss key areas of research and technology.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised

Established: 19 years
