Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
