ASHBOURNE COMMUNITY TRANSPORT

To provide transport facilities for those residents of West Derbyshire, southern Derbyshire Dales focused on Ashbourne and surrounding villages, East Staffordshire and Staffordshire Moorlands (southern Peak) who have difficulty in using public transport because of age, sickness, mental or physical disability, or because of a lack of availability of adequate and safe public passenger services.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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