Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • 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 3 years
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • This charity appears to be dormant
