CHURCHILL AND LANGFORD MINIBUS SOCIETY 

minibus for elderly/old people, people with disabilities. To provide transport in the 5 parishes we cover to those who have special needs have young children or are socially isolated, as agreed by the committee.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
