MOLLY OLLY'S WISHES 

To support emotionally and financially where appropriate the lives of children suffering from terminal and life threatening illnesses throughout the UK, and to advise and assist families with children suffering from terminal or life threatening illnesses.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
