Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
