Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
