Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
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
