Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
