Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,667,319 available, equivalent to 25 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
