Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 2 trustees?
and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years

Financial issues to consider:

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