ACTION AGAINST MEDICAL ACCIDENTS

We support people affected by avoidable harm in healthcare, help them achieve justice and promote better patient safety for all.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,853,152 available, equivalent to 38 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
