Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
