    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
