Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,403,738 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
There is a pension deficit of £160,979
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
