Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

The latest accounts were qualified
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
