  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £12,140,097 available, equivalent to 26 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
