Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 18 years
