Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

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
