PENDLESIDE HOSPICE 

We provide palliative care for the people of Burnley & Pendle (and Rossendale for inpatient facilities) suffering from cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. We also provide support for their relatives and carers. We do this primarily with our 10 bed inpatient unit, our day service and outpatient facility and our Hospice at Home team who look after patients in their own homes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Income generation is well diversified
  • 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £13,240,019 available, equivalent to 34 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
