THE BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER FOUNDATION

The aim of The Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Foundation is to relieve suffering of those with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. The objectives are to utilise funds within the trust to raise awareness through the media and our social media channels, provide accurate information on the condition and evidence based treatments and offer support through our e-helpline and support groups.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
