Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,319,000 available, equivalent to 74 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 52 years
