THE LEAGUE OF FRIENDS OF THE CHARD AND DISTRICT HOSPITAL

To supply products and services not supplied by NHS to Chard Hospital, to assist staff in their treatment of patients and for us to supply services for the comfort of patients.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
