WYCOMBE TALKING NEWSPAPER

Talking Newspaper for the Blind

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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