Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
