Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £6,102,517 available, equivalent to 49 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
Established: 16 years
