SOUTH MOLTON AND DISTRICT VOLUNTEER BUREAU 

Provides transport for the elderly and unwell who are without means to attend hospital/doctor appointments
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
