Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be very static

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 2 occasions over the last 5 years
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
