Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • This charity appears to be dormant
