ST KENTIGERN HOSPICE

The provision of palliative and respite care to day and residential patients in a hospice environment for the people of North East Wales and providing support to our patients' families.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Income generation is well diversified
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
