Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
This charity has a robust balance sheet
More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,715,941 available, equivalent to 46 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
