Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 38 years
