Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £12,559,574 available, equivalent to 252 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
