THE RIDLEY FOUNDATION

The objective is to provide intra-ocular lens surgery in the cure of cataract blindness to the poor of the Developing World, with the objective of providing the sustainable training of opthalmologists.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
