    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
