Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
