Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
