LINCOLNSHIRE EMERGENCY BLOOD BIKES SERVICE

To relieve sickness and protect health by the provision of a free transportation system to deliver urgently needed blood, drugs and other medical requirements between NHS hospitals and blood transfusion banks primarily but not exclusively in Lincolnshire.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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