Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
