Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?
Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
