Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Income was lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
