Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity and another benefit

Financial issues to consider:

  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 24 years
