To promote the third sector by building the capacity of third sector organisations and provide them the necessary support, information and services to enable them to pursue or contribute to any charitable service; promoting volunteering within the sector; organising and facilitating co operation and partnership working between third sector, statutory and other relevant bodies.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
