HANDS UP FOR TRAD

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age
