Breast Friends Northamptonshire provides practical and emotional support for people affected by Breast Cancer in Northamptonshire and the surrounding area.

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 has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely female
Over half the Board have joined recently

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 recently
