Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there 23 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • The accounts in the latest year show a significant deficit from trading activities
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
