NEWCASTLE COMMUNITY TRANSPORT 

The provision of door to door transport for people in the Newcastle & surrounding areas who have mobility problems and who cannot use, or find it unreasonably difficult to use, other public services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 31 years
