THE HAWKHURST COMMUNITY HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS 

The provision of those extras and luxuries that the NHS does not provide for its patients, and those caring for them.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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