Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
