Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
