    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • 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
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
    • Income has been volatile recently
