ASSOCIATION FOR GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISEASE (UK) LIMITED 

We are the national charity for people experiencing Glycogen Storage Disease, their families and carers as well as for medical professionals working in this field. As the UKs main charity in this area, we support people with the disease, promote research and raise public awareness of GSDs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age 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
  • 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
