Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely 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
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
