Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
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
