Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • This charity is based in an area of extremely high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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