Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
