Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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 £10,525,000 available, equivalent to 24 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 25 years
