BEDFORD AND DISTRICT AUDIO NEWS 

We are all volunteers who record the local news on tape every week for blind persons. We read and record on a Monday evening and our listeners receive a tape the next day. We also send out a magazine on tape 4 times a year.
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
