JUST4CHILDREN

Just4Children is passionate about the relief of sickness and preservation of health of children in the UK and Ireland by providing and assisting in the provision of grants to enable them to obtain medical treatment, therapies, living environments, equipment and holidays which would not otherwise be available to them.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
This charity has a robust balance sheet
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be very static

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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 8 years
