Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,509,029 available, equivalent to 39 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
