UPLIFT

Uplift is a charity which is committed to its goal of raising awareness of and providing support for breast cancer sufferers and survivors, particularly in relation to those who suffer the disease at an earlier, pre-menopausal stage of their lives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • Why is the Board composition very static?
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • This charity appears to be dormant
