WMUK

WMUK is the only charity in the UK focused solely on Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia (WM), a rare type of blood cancer. Our vision is that people affected by WM live longer, good quality lives, being supported every step of the way by WMUK. Our goal is to be the informed voice of WM in the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
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
