STONEWALL EQUALITY LIMITED 

Promoting equality and human rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
Established: 20 years
