BUILDING RESILIENCE IN COMMUNITIES 

BRIC is a locally focused charity supporting vulnerable children and their families in Lincolnshire, providing emotional support and practical help to children and their families to get them back on their feet after dealing with issues such as illness, disability, abuse, isolation and the demands of having a young family
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
