    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

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 15 years
    (17 years as a company)
