HEARTWIZE 

The charity provides resuscitation skills training in schools and in the wider community, aiming to improve bystander responses and thereby ensure the best possible chance of survival for members of the public who suffer a cardiac arrest in their homes or elsewhere in the community. The charity also promotes and supports the increased availability and use of public access defibrillators.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
