Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
Established: 23 years
