BOWEL & CANCER RESEARCH 

We fund the best science around the UK into bowel cancer, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Colitis and Crohn?s disease), Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other bowel problems. We also involve patients and the public in research and we aim to increase awareness of bowel conditions to challenge stigma.www.bowelcancerresearch.orgmail@bowelcancerresearch.org
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Established: 17 years
