    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

    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
    Established: 22 years
