Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received considerable income from legacies 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:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,124,745 available, equivalent to 62 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
