    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

    • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £6,774,029 available, equivalent to 24 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
    Established: 29 years
