Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly female
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
