MOBILITY TRUST II 

Mobility Trust provide assessment and funding for powered wheelchairs, mobility scooters and powered add ons for manual wheelchairs to individuals with reduced mobility that cannot obtain such equipment through statutory sources or afford to purchase the equipment themselves. We consider applications within the United Kingdom, regardless of age or cause of disability. We do not give grants.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 26 years
