Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
