Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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