THE FREYA FOUNDATION

supporting families affected by PDH deficiency ( which is a rare metabolic disorder )Raising awareness of PDH deficiency Working with medical professionals such as doctors and dieticians to provide families up to date information

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
