Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
This charity has a robust balance sheet
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £10,842,139 available, equivalent to 48 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
