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

Financial issues to consider:

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