IVYBRIDGE & DISTRICT COMMUNITY TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION

To provide a community transport service for such of the inhabitants of Ivybridge and the surounding parishes who are need of such a service because of age, sickness or disability, or because of a lack of available public passenger services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • The latest accounts were qualified
  • 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
