Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £7,859,499 available, equivalent to 123 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
