WARWICKSHIRE AND SOLIHULL BLOOD BIKES

DURING THE YEAR OVER 1000 JOBS COMPLETED; NOW OWN 4 BIKES. WE SUPPORT A LOCAL CHILDREN'S CHARITY WITH A TOY RUN EACH DECEMBER SUPPORTED BY LOCAL SUPERMARKETS AND RIDERS.

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
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
