Financial data as at June 2024. Sourced from Charities Services register.
Small volunteer-led organisations are not letter-graded: the standard financial template does not fit entities without paid staff, large revenue, or significant government funding. The charity's filed figures are shown above.

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.
- Reserves high for operating sizeReserves cover ~117 months of expenses on $39K revenue — very high for an operating charity this size
- Current annual return overdueThe newest annual return we hold is 27 months old — a more recent return may already be on the Charities Services register
- Shared trustees with reporting-group siblingsOne current trustee also serves on the board of another charity in the same Charities Services reporting group (group has 2 member charities filing one consolidated annual return). Group-internal cross-trusteeship can be operationally efficient but should be visible to donors.
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.
