Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
