Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

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