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 recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is completely male

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 2 years and the current period appears to have been extended
