Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 22 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
