Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
