MUMS AND MIDWIVES AWARENESS ACADEMY

MAMA Academy is helping to prevent stillbirth in the UK by empowering maternity professionals and informing expectant parents about stillbirth prevention methods to help more babies arrive safely.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
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
