TOPIC OF CANCER 

We raise funds to directly support the work of the cancer immunotherapy research group based at the University of Surrey. We raise the profile and awareness of cancer and immunotherapy research which investigates the use of more targeted and less agressive therapies, to the benefit of patients. We support regional support groups that offer emotional and social support to cancer patients.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 11 years
