Reasons to look carefully (3)

These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.

  • No chair recorded on the register
    No chair or presiding role is recorded in the register for this board of 3. The Charities Register does not require one to be identified, so this is a gap in the public record rather than a finding about the board.
  • Government-funding concentration
    81% of latest-year revenue came from government grants — single-stream dependency
  • Same audit firm for many years
    Same audit firm (KPMG) for 10 consecutive years — best practice rotates audit firms periodically to refresh independent oversight

Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
