Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • 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
