    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

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

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
