WELSH BORDER COMMUNITY TRANSPORT

To provide transport facilities in County of Flintshire (or its successor) and the surrounding areas for the use of charitable organisations and other community groups for carrying out charitable purposes or for individuals who have special need of such facilities because they are disabled, sick or elderly or living in isolated areas where there are no adequate public transport facilities.

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:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
