Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there only 2 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

Income 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
