Financial data as at March 2026. Sourced from Charities Services register.

NR
Not rated — Insufficient financial data

Key balance-sheet figures (net assets / total assets) were not reported in the most recent return, and no populated prior year is available within the two-year fallback window. A rating cannot be calculated without these figures.

Reasons to look carefully (2)

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.

  • Small board structure
    2 current officers listed on the register — best-practice boards have 5+ members with separation of duties
  • Government-funding concentration
    95% of latest-year revenue came from government grants — single-stream dependency

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.
