WREXHAM HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS 

The League was established to raise funds for, and provide physical anenities for the benefit of patients at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, and to support the charitable work of the Hospital.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
