Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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