LIVING STREETS (THE PEDESTRIANS ASSOCIATION)

To promote the safety of the walking public and the comfort and general amenities of pedestrians.To create safe, attractive, enjoyable streets across the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
