PLAN INTERNATIONAL UK

Plan International UK is a global children's charity. We strive to advance children's rights and equality for girls all over the world. We work to give every child the same chance in life by giving children and their communities access to education, healthcare, clean water and more. And if disaster strikes we are there to protect children to keep them learning and help them recover.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
