Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 25 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,475,322 available, equivalent to 134 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
