Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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