Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
The Board is completely female
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 and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
