MOBILITY AND ACCESS GROUP

We provide a Minibus to take people with disabilities and the elderly shopping also social occasions

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material 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 female
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
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 7 years
