Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
