FRIENDS OF THE X112

To provide transport facilities in the Furness peninsula and South Lakes areas for people who have special needs of such facilities because they are elderly, poor or disabled, people with young children, or living (or staying) in isolated areas where there are no adequate public transport facilities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
