Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Why are there only 3 trustees?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
There was a deficit on unrestricted reserves of £11,461 at the last year end after deducting the value of own use assets
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
