    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received Government grants

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
