REWRITE YOUR STORY LTD

The charity provides targeted support and services to children and young people to aid recovery and build mental health and resilience who suffer from eating disorders in the South East of the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 2 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile recently
