Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,572,271 available, equivalent to 72 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
