Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £34,626,746 available, equivalent to 38 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
