Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
