NORTH NORFOLK COMMUNITY TRANSPORT
Provision of transport within a defined area of North Norfolk (including some parishes in Broadland District) for people with a wide range of needs or reasons why they cannot make use of the existing network of conventional public transport. In addition, transport is provided for groups with broadly charitable aims on a regular or as-required basis, using a mix of paid and volunteer staff.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity achieved a net surplus of £81,708 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total funds increasing to £429,311. The trustees report that free reserves of £161,502 are below their stated policy target of £200,000, representing six months of operating costs. The organization remains dependent on grant funding, which the trustees note is becoming increasingly difficult to secure.
