    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of 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
