WOMEN'S CANCER DETECTION SOCIETY

The support and treatment of patients and research into breast cancer. The charity achieves these aims by financing the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment unable to be funded by the National Health Service. Furthermore the charity provides funds to support education about breast cancer in the community and maintains a specialised breast cancer library.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
