Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
