Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker 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:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
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
