Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,940,700 available, equivalent to 99 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
