BEEP DOCTORS (BASICS CUMBRIA) LTD 

BEEP Doctors is a charity providing enhanced pre-hospital emergency medical care to people in Cumbria.Our team of doctors are on call 24/7, attending serious incidents including road traffic collisions, farming accidents and other life threatening emergencies. BEEP covers all of Cumbria from Whitehaven in the West, Brampton in the East, North to the Scottish Borders and South to Barrow-in-Furness.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

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
