Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • 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
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
