Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static
Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
