    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

    Financial issues to consider:

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