Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants and contracts
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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 3 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
