Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 86 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,606,524 available, equivalent to 62 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
