MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS TRIALS COLLABORATION (MSTC) 

To provide patients with MS who are not suitable for current therapies, access to pharmaceutical-sponsored clinical trials. Furthermore, to use generated income by undertaking pharmaceutical clinical trials to devise & administer research-led clinical trials thereby providing greater access to potential treatments to more MS patients.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
