Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
