Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
