CHANGE MAKERS 

Change Makers is a volunteer lead group raising awareness of cancer signs and symptoms to 'hard to reach' communities with the greatest need in Nottingham City. They encourage people to seek early health advice and treatment which ultimately saves lives. They use interactive and fun ways to take a very serious message to the public, such as leaflets, games, quizzes, visual and audio dramas.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns

  • 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
