Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £6,524,585 available, equivalent to 61 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
