Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board composition very static?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

The latest accounts were qualified
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
This charity appears to be dormant
