Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

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