Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
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
