Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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