Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
