Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Income generation is well diversified
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,658,089 available, equivalent to 29 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
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
