Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,713,881 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
