Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
