RAINBOW FOUNDATION SUNDERLAND

The organisation provides services throughout the year for the benefit of the LGBTQ community in the region, as well as providing regional events, and training to progress equality and diversity within the region.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers including the Government recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there only 2 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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