Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,014,632 available, equivalent to 163 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
