SKANDA VALE HOSPICE CIO 

At our 6 bed Hospice in Saron , Carmarthenshire we provide free of charge palliativecare, through respite and day care, primarily but not exclusively to the people of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, that enables our patients, their loved ones and our wider community to encounter the essence of life more vividly, through a deeper acceptance of our shared mortality
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 several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 8 years
