Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 57 years
