JUMBULANCE TRUST

We are a small Charitable Trust with 2 unique and specialist vehicles; part-coach, part-ambulance known as 'Jumbulances', designed for transporting over long distances in safety and comfort with the help of volunteer nurses, doctors, carers and helpers, those who disabled or suffering from life-limiting illnesses who find it too difficult or even impossible to use other means of transport.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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