Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:
