Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
