Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly female
and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 4 years

Financial issues to consider:

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