Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
