THE PERSHORE AND DISTRICT TALKING NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION 

Pershore Talking Newspaper produces, fortnightly, a recording on memory stick to blind persons and those with temporary or permanently impaired sight. It contains readings of news from in and around Pershore and an item of special interest or an interview with a local person. It also has a selection of articles from recent national magazines (with their permission).
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Established: 42 years
