Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity and another benefit
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,094,662 available, equivalent to 28 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Established: 8 years
