HARROW COMMUNITY TRANSPORT 

To provide relief (including through provision of a community transport service), for those who live or work in Harrow and other London Boroughs, who are in need because of age, sickness or disability (mental or physical) or poverty or a lack of availability of adequate and safe public transport services.
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

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
