INSTITUTE FOR FOOD, BRAIN AND BEHAVIOUR

The Institute for Food, Brain and Behaviour exists to improve the lives of individuals and communities by conducting and evaluating research into the link between nutrition and behaviour, promoting public understanding, influencing policy, and - working as Think Through Nutrition - creating and implementing nutritional educational programmes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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