Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £45,065,000 available, equivalent to 53 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • There is a pension deficit of £1,001,000
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
