Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Most of the income over the last 3 years has been in the form of Government grants or contracts

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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