Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely female
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile recently
This charity appears to be dormant
