Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
