Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • All of 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
