Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,099,752 available, equivalent to 42 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
