IVYBRIDGE & DISTRICT COMMUNITY TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION

To provide a community transport service for such of the inhabitants of Ivybridge and the surounding parishes who are need of such a service because of age, sickness or disability, or because of a lack of available public passenger services.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
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
