Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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