Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • This charity appears to be dormant
