Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
