Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
