BURTONWOOD & WINWICK COMMUNITY BUS CIO

Due to limited public transport many of our residents are unable to access the local services they need. To address these issues we set up the Burtonwood and Winwick Community Bus. Residents came together to provide a much needed transport service for the villagers, and we have have a minibus service that is open to all residents. We also tackle issues such as social isolation and loneliness.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
