Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
