Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
There was a deficit on unrestricted reserves of £6,040 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
