THE NEUROKINEX CHARITABLE TRUST

The preservation of health through the treatment, care and rehabilitation of persons living with neurological impairment; the advancement of education through the support of scientific, medical and technological research into neurological conditions; the advancement of education and training to improve the provision of care for those with a neurological impairment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
