COPING WITH CANCER - NORTH EAST 

The funds of the Association are applied to relieve the distress and suffering and to preserve the mental, emotional, physical and social health of anyone affected by cancer within the North East of England.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
