THE ADAM LEWIS EFFECT FOUNDATION

Raising awareness of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, and raising funds to support awareness-raising and to fund vital heart-screening for people aged 14 - 35 across the UK.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
