Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
