Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
