BISHOP'S STORTFORD & DISTRICT TALKING NEWSPAPER

The Provision of Recordings of the content of the Local Newspaper to those who are unable to read through blindness or similar infirmity

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
