Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,387,948 available, equivalent to 31 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
