Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
