Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
