Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £11,215,565 available, equivalent to 34 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
