Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender
  • This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
