Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £13,750,756 available, equivalent to 51 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
