Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,775,945 available, equivalent to 33 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
Established: 19 years
