Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
