Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £6,442,616 available, equivalent to 40 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
