Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £9,999,823 available, equivalent to 36 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
