STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDS TALKING NEWSPAPER

We produce 55 memory sticks each week for blind and partially sighted residents or former residents of the Staffordshire Moorlands featuring the main items in the three local newspapers. We have about 30 loyal volunteers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
