    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
