Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers including the Government recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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