Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £10,918,737 available, equivalent to 173 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 12 years
