Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
