Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

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