EXETER COMMUNITY TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 

Provision of transport services to disabled persons including Ring & Ride service, hire of wheelchairs and mobility equipment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

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 recently but spending has been maintained
Established: 15 years
