Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
