Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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