PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCH FUND 

The charity offers project grants for pancreatic cancer research to researchers in the UK and Ireland.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,721,137 available, equivalent to 29 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 10 years
