Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended
