Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
