Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but this has been generated by an income surplus in the latest year and spending has been increasing rapidly
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
