THE LEAGUE OF FRIENDS OF THE ALDEBURGH AND DISTRICT COMMUNITY HOSPITAL 

To provide those extra services and facilities for the local hospital which the NHS is either unwilling or unable to provide in order to help inpatients, outpatients and staff.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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