Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
