POLYMYALGIA RHEUMATICA AND GIANT CELL ARTERITIS UK

PMRGCAuk is a national charity supporting those with the debilitating conditions Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis. We offer information and support, raise awareness amongst the public and clinicians and facilitate research into both conditions.

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 several 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
