Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Most of the income over the last 3 years has been in the form of Government grants or contracts
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
