Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
