Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static
Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile recently
