Children's Hospices across London (CHaL) is the management company that brings together children's hospices that provide a service in London to ensure that a consistent high quality offer of children's hospice and related services is available to children, young people and families across London in order to maximise the impact of hospice care in life and at death.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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