    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
