Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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