    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity only provides its support via other charities

    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
