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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,690,219 available, equivalent to 43 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Spending is declining
