Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
