THE EVE MERTON DREAMS TRUST

The charity raises money to help answer a Dream or grant a wish for Cancer patients of all ages, within our local area. In short, we do something that may make them smile. Fulfilling a dream provides a positive focus empowering both patient and their families with new enthusiasm and strength to deal with ongoing daily struggles of the illness. Our work helps fight the onset of post-diagnosis PTSD.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
