WHEELS 2 WORK COUNTY DURHAM

The charity aims to assist people to get and keep jobs through the provision of transport where public transport is not adequate to meet their needs. Specifically it is establishing a scooter loan scheme in parts of County Durham, including training, safety equipment, support to clients and assistance to find long term solutions to their transport requirements.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • 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:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
