WRIGHTINGTON HOSPITAL RADIO 

The provision of a broadcasting service to the patients in the hospitals we cover at Wigan and Wrightington. This includes programmes of both a music and speech variety including patients' requests and sport commentaries.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 32 years
