EDITH CAVELL FUND FOR NURSES

Cavell is the charity supporting UK nurses, midwives and nursing associates, working and retired, when they're suffering personal or financial hardship. We offer a package of support to help everyone who gets in touch, giving emotional support, advice on maximising benefits, signposting to specialist services and grants to relieve financial hardship for those at greatest risk.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
