Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

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