Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
