Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
