Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:
