Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 60 years
(102 years as a company)
