Investment Strategy
For every £1 we spend on raising funds, we generated £3 in income.
With the aim of doubling the income of the charity in the next five years to safeguard its future, we have made substantial investment in fundraising in the past year and will continue to invest in fundraising over the coming years.
For every pound of spending, 47p* was spent delivering our service and 53p went towards fundraising. This follows a strategic decision to invest significantly in growing individual giving (including lottery) over the coming years. This requires upfront funding to recruit new supporters to provide long-term, sustainable income.
Our Charitable Spending Ratio** as calculated by the charity Commission BETA version is 60% (2017/18 78%). This is calculated as charitable spending (including governance costs) as a percentage of our income available for charitable spending.
* The charitable costs of the clinical provision are not included within these figures.
** Calculated using the methodology published by the Charity Commission on the BETA version – beta.charitycommission.gov.uk
