Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year but the charity has substantial reserves available
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
