Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

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