TOWER HAMLETS COMMUNITY TRANSPORT

Provision of transport resources to charitable and voluntary organisations working to support the needs of disadvantaged individuals and communities resident in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 40 years
