Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • This charity appears to be dormant
