Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 24 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
