Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
