Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 26 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
