ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF ENGLAND

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £93,565,000 available, equivalent to 33 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • There is a pension deficit of £3,206,000
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
