THE COTSWOLD LISTENER

Records and distributes a weekly talking newspaper and magazine on CD, memory stick and via website to approximately 165 visually impaired listeners in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and North Cotswolds.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
