Financial data as at December 2017. Sourced from Charities Services register.
The most recent financial filing with Charities Services is more than three years old. Until a current return is filed, a rating is not assigned.

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 registerNo 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.
- Reserves high for operating sizeReserves cover ~5735 months of expenses on $10K revenue — very high for an operating charity this size
- Shared trustees with reporting-group siblings2 current trustees also serve on the board of another charity in the same Charities Services reporting group (group has 8 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.
