Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,817,984 available, equivalent to 78 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
