Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely 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
