MAGPAS 

Treatment of injury or sickness by the provision of immediate medical care to any persons involved in accidents or medical emergencies.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
