Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Why are there only 4 trustees?
The Board composition appears to be rather static
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended
