Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
