Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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