Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Income was lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
