Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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