    NORTH WEST 4X4 RESPONSE

    The group provides logistical support to emergency services and other user bodies; as well as the NHS and other charitable groups in times of need caused by adverse weather conditions, floods and other crises. During Covid we have also helped in the delivery of free meals to children from their schools to their home addresses and we have also been approached for help and advice via our website.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
    • Income has been volatile recently
