KIDS CANCER CHARITY

The relief of sickness among children suffering from cancer by the provision of emotional and practical support that complements and adds value to the services provided by the statutory authorities with the object of improving their conditions of life and those of their families or carers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
