Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static
Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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