The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
