    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity only provides its support via other charities
    • Over half the Board have joined recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
