Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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