providing an entertainment service to the patients, staff and visitors of the Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
