Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
