Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
