Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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