Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
