MIRACLES

Miracles is a charity offering hope for those with multiple and life threatening problems for whom no other help source is available. It aims to ease the burder of suffering on person or persons in Supreme Need - primarily in the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
