Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile recently
