LEWES AND DISTRICT TALKING NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION

To produce and distribute tapes weekly to the blind, containing local news from the Sussex Express and a selection of magazine items.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
