FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE HOSPICE CHARITY

The Charity supports the work of Florence Nightingale Hospice through total funding of specific services such as the Children's Hospice at Home, Day Hospice, Lymphoedema service, and part-funding of inpatient nursing, Nightingale 24/7 service and community palliative care nurses. We raise £790,000 per annum through donations, fundraising, gifts in a will, shops and a local hospices' lottery.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £7,535,865 available, equivalent to 27 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
