Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
Income has been volatile recently
