Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
miles
