JANE TOMLINSON APPEAL 

The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is the legacy of the late Jane Tomlinson CBE and exists to support children's health and well-being and to improve the lives of people with cancer. It does this through: bereavement support for children; co-funding research into a blood test for breast cancer; research and study days into Kinesio Taping for people with cancer; and funding school well-being programmes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
