Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
