MARTIN HOUSE

Providing holistic care and support to children and young people with life limiting illnesses and to their families in Yorkshire and the Humber.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
Income generation is well diversified
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £21,664,377 available, equivalent to 26 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
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
