SALFORD TALKING NEWSPAPER

The provision of a free service whereby blind, partially-sighted or otherwise reading-disabled residents of the whole of the City of Salford can listen to a local news recording each week on memory stick. A free monthly magazine recording is also sent out once a month. Play-back speakers are loaned free to any listener who needs one.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
