Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Income generation is well diversified
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,334,578 available, equivalent to 25 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
