Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £81,124,000 available, equivalent to 147 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 62 years
