Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Latest return is overdue

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
