Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Returns have been filed late on 4 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
