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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

We provide a range of high quality, reliable and safe vehicles to hire at an affordable cost. Our Community Car Scheme provides volunteer drivers who transport vulnerable people who cannot access conventional transport to go where they want to go. We are unable to provide our minibus to groups due to requirements for social distancing which in effect means no more than four people can be carried on a 16 seater. In the current C-19 crisis we are focussing on medication delivery from local pharmacies where residents are isolated. Although local pharmacies have their own delivery service for normal times this is not sufficient to serve the current need. We are also continuing to offer supported shopping with drivers doing this on behalf of clients. Transport to C-19 testing sites are also provided. We are unable to charge for any of these services at present (previously had charged a small mileage rate) We normally provide parent funded school transport where there is no local service and parents are unable to transport their children to/from school. Currently being unable to provide this service means that we have no source of income. Our current finances are in an unhealthy state which means that we cannot continue for much longer without support. We applied for emergency funding from Cheshire West and Chester Council to tide us over April to June and were awarded £7000
