Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
