Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
