Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
