Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 14 years
