NIEMANN-PICK UK 

THIS CHARITY IS THE INCORPORATED SUCCESSOR TO REGISTERED CHARITY 1061881 - NIEMANN-PICK DISEASE GROUP UK. The Charity aims to relieve sickness and any distress which may arise therefrom, and to advance the education and awareness of families, professionals and the general public in all matters concerning the disease.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
