THE OPTIMUM HEALTH CLINIC FOUNDATION 

The role of our charity is to relieve sickness, poor health and disability and to promote optimal healing and physical wellbeing through the provision, study and research of integrative medicine, initially for sufferers of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and later for sufferers of other serious and chronic illnesses.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
