WYVERN COMMUNITY TRANSPORT 

Wyvern Community Transport provides fully accessible transport to permanent residents of Rochford District and Castle Point Borough on an individual basis who are unable to access public transport.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
