Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
