MARY WARD SETTLEMENT

The advancement of public education

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £12,458,000 available, equivalent to 30 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
