Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has an endowment fund which generates most of its income
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

  • There was a deficit on unrestricted reserves of £617,687 at the last year end after deducting the value of own use assets
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
