Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • This charity appears to be dormant
