Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely male
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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
