Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently
