Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing

Established: 9 years
