To promote the relief of all adults, without regard to race or creed, who are suffering from any chronic or terminal illness or from any disability or disease attributable to old age or from any other physical or mental infirmity, disability or disease in such ways as the Association shall from time to time think fit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £15,026,262 available, equivalent to 30 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
