Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Financial issues to consider:

This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
