Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
