Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
