THE BRADLEY LOWERY FOUNDATION

The Bradley Lowery Foundation supports children and families fundraising for treatment and equipment not available on the NHS. We do this by supporting fundraising campaigns allowing the families to use the Charity number to receive donations from businesses and other organisations. We also issue grants where applicable.We are also building a holiday home for families to make memories.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Established: 7 years
