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:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns

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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
