Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
