Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 21 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
