ME & DEE

The aims of the charity shall be to provide memory making experiences, predominantly by free holidays, for adults and children facing life threatening, life shortening and terminal conditions. To offer a memory making experience to allay from the daily stress of pain, hospitals, finances and loss, to give families the time together to make memories when their time together is so precious.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
