Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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
  • Why are there 19 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • Income has been volatile recently
