Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £11,054,000 available, equivalent to 24 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 14 years
