THE HOSPITAL OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST 

The distribution of quarterly gratuities to retired people in need living in the Borough of Bedford. The Charity also gives money to Charities which benefit the people of Bedford.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
