Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
Income has been volatile recently
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised

Established: 23 years
