Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,543,510 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding

Established: 26 years
