Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 12 years
