THE LEAGUE OF FRIENDS OF HALTON GENERAL HOSPITAL

Purchase of medical equipment or items requested using fundraising via light refreshments and small shop, also second hand books.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
This charity appears to be dormant
