Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • Returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 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
