Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition
  • This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
