Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
