Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,084,432 available, equivalent to 36 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
