Reasons to look carefully (3)
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 9. 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.
- 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
- Same audit firm for many yearsSame audit firm (KPMG) for 6 consecutive years — best practice rotates audit firms periodically to refresh independent oversight
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.
