TORBAY SHOPMOBILITY 

Hire of wheelchairs and electric scooters to enable people with disabilities at access town centre services.The Constitution of the Charity was amended in 2004 to encompass activities within the Torbay local authority area generally. This enabled the group to operate in the Brixham area where a separate shop had been set up. The name of the charity was officially amended to reflect this.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There is only 1 trustee
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
