UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS BIRMINGHAM CHARITY

UHB Charity runs the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity, Heartland Hospital Charity, Good Hope Hospital Charity, Solihull Hospital Charity and Fisher House (for the UK's military patients). It is the official charity for University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, providing things over and above that which can be provided by the NHS

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple 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

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £15,909,000 available, equivalent to 44 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Spending is declining
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised

Established: 21 years
