Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 6 years
