Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
