Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised

Established: 40 years
