CYNTHIA SPENCER HOSPICE CHARITY

THE CYNTHIA SPENCER HOSPICE CHARITY RAISE FUNDS TO SUPPORT STAFF AND PATIENT NEEDS AT CYNTHIA SPENCER HOSPICE

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,172,460 available, equivalent to 33 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
