Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
