Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,029,873 available, equivalent to 78 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
