Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
