Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,419,050 available, equivalent to 25 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
