  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 47 years
