Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £29,427,153 available, equivalent to 82 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: 10 years
