Financial data as at August 2025. 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.
- No chair recorded on the registerNo chair or presiding role is recorded in the register for this board of 5. 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 ~125 months of expenses on $222K revenue — very high for an operating charity this size
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.
