Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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 £4,998,694 available, equivalent to 28 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • There is a pension deficit of £154,000
