Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
