TARGET OVARIAN CANCER

Each year 7,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK. Survival rates have not improved significantly in 30 years. Target Ovarian Cancer is the national charity working to save lives and help women diagnosed to live their lives to the full. We do this by improving early diagnosis, finding new treatments and providing support.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
