Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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