Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 3 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
