THE BEDWYNS LINK SCHEME 

The Bedwyns' Link Scheme now covers the parishes of Great and Little Bedwyn, St Katherines, East and West Grafton, Wilton, Marten, Wexcombe.It is a good neighbour scheme which mainly enables our clients to reach local facilities like shops, post office, doctor's surgery and local hospitals. A small number of other activities such as home visits are also undertaken.
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
