Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £105,830,000 available, equivalent to 107 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 62 years
