Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • The latest accounts were qualified
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
