BRIDGNORTH COMMUNITY TRANSPORT GROUP

We provide a community transport service for those inhabitants of south-east Shropshire who are in need of such a service because of age, sickness or disability (mental or physical) or poverty or a lack of availability of adequate and safe public transport. We do this with our own wheelchair-accessible minibuses and through taking bookings for the local voluntary car scheme.

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 well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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