EAST DURHAM COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED

Provision of transport to voluntary and community groups, statutory organisations and all not for profit making organisations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending is declining
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 17 years
