Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
