Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be rather 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
