Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,695,024 available, equivalent to 112 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
