Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
