ARK CANCER CHARITY

The Ark Cancer Charity operates locally to enhance the experience of patients receiving cancer treatment at Hampshire Hospitals, through funding wellbeing services which the NHS cannot currently deliver with the aim to support patients with symptoms associated with their cancer from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. We also provide grants to enhance NHS premises for cancer treatment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
