Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
