Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
