Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
