Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely female
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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 2 years and the current period appears to have been extended
