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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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