Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?
