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 including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
Why are there only 3 trustees?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
