Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
