KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL CHARITY

The charity's mission is to work for the benefit of patients and service users of King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust across all its sites, and where considered appropriate, other bodies relating to the NHS in England, by enhancing services and facilities, supporting research and development and improving the working environment for staff.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but very substantial unrestricted reserves are available
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
