Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
