    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
    • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
