THE HOLME VALLEY TRANSPORT SCHEME

To provide transport facilities in the Holme Valley, West Yorkshire, for people who have need of such a facility because they are elderly, poor or disabled, people with young children or those living in isolated areas where there are no adequate public facilities to enable such persons to attend primary healthcare facilities for essential and/or routine healthcare and treatment
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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