Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received income from Government contracts
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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