TARKA RADIO

Provision of Hospital Radio services
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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