Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
