TOTNES AND RURAL COMMUNITY TRANSPORT

Providing accessible community transport for Totnes and its surrounding villages, through scheduled bus routes, regular travel club excursions, and hire to community groups. We aim to make our services friendly and accessible for all residents and visitors, and especially passengers of limited mobility, the elderly, and anyone without access to their own vehicle.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
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
