Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
