Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
This charity only provides its support via other charities
There are only 2 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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