Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers including the Government recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Why is the Board composition 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
