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 structure1 current officer listed on the register — best-practice boards have 5+ members with separation of duties
- Current annual return overdueThe newest annual return we hold is 30 months old — a more recent return may already be on the Charities Services register
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.
