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 only provides its support via other charities
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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