Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
