Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £22,081,801 available, equivalent to 150 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
