Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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