Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no material 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:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
