Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board is predominantly male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
