    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
    • There has been strong growth in spending since inception

    Financial issues to consider:

    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
