STAR THROWERS CIO

Star Throwers supports people with cancer and their carers through personalised information that helps them to become well informed about their cancer and their treatment options, and through complementary support services that meets their holistic needs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
