Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
