Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 3 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
