Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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