Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
