Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £21,322,940 available, equivalent to 31 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 extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 28 years
