COMMUNITY TRANSPORT (SWADLINCOTE) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives
The Charity aims to ‘provide a non-profit making, community transport service for the benefit of the residents of South Derbyshire and surrounding areas in the interests of social welfare and for the preservation of health of those in need, hardship and distress by reason of age, infirmity, mental or physical ability with the object of improving their condition of life’.
Services may be used by community groups/individuals meeting our eligibility criteria and who are affiliated with us and have pre-booked in advance. Services assist vulnerable children and adults to maintain independence and provide improved life quality, increase choice and assist with social integration. Occasional non-profit social outings are provided for registered members.
Significant activities
Three types of service are currently provided for those who are eligible:
Dial-a-Bus (for individuals to access supermarkets/town centres);
Group Transport used by any group which benefits the community;
Home to School/Training Centre Services for children and adults with special educational needs/disabilities.
Public benefit
The charity has referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular the charity has considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that it has set.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Despite the global pandemic, contracts continued to run at a reduced level, on behalf of Staffordshire County Council and Derbyshire County Council; for the provision of Special Needs education transport and Adult Care transport.
The charity benefited from local government grants due to an enforced reduction in contract services.
Throughout the period the charity adhered to Government policies aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19.
Dial-a-Bus and Group Transport services were suspended.
Internal and external factors
The charity considers that it is well equipped to explore new business opportunities within its objectives for the further benefit of the local community which it serves.
Both trustees and management strive to continue the excellent community service currently provided. However, this cannot be guaranteed.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The total net income for the year from unrestricted activities amounted to £130,747 (2020: net expenditure £13,203) There was net expenditure on restricted funds of £4,134 (2020: £4,134).
The net effect of the above results is a total net surplus of £126,613 (2020: net deficit £17,337) which has been added to reserves to give total funds as at 31 March 2021 of £936,799 (2020: £810,186) of which £794,620 (2020: £663,873) is unrestricted and £142,179 (2020: £146,313) is restricted.

FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued
Investment policy and objectives
We have the power to invest to generate funds but generally choose not to do so other than seeking good interest on any money we have in our reserves and/or set aside for vehicle purchase.
Reserves policy
It is the Trustees’ policy to accumulate and hold reserves at such levels as required to even out future fluctuations in income and expenditure, whilst enabling the services to be maintained.
Designated reserves are currently invested in a Yorkshire Bank Business Current Account. These reserves amounted to £107,500 as at 31 March 2021 (2020: £107,500).
The designated funds relate to a contingency fund of £50,000 with the remainder for Vehicle Replacement.
We are required by law to ensure sufficient reserves are held (cash/assets) to be realised if necessary to cover costs involved in the event the Scheme 'winds up'. Our accounts show we can cover all costs involved.
Going concern The level of general reserves as at 31 March 2021 amounted to £551,947 and the balance of cash at bank and in hand was £504,008. The trustees consider that the charity has sufficient reserves and liquid funds to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
COVID-19
The impact of the global corona virus during the year, has had a negative effect on the income stream of the charity due to school closures and reduction in demand for group transport. As a result of this the trustees have closely monitored and reduced costs and utilised the government furlough scheme. The charity has also benefited from local government funding due to COVID-19. This has enabled the charity to retain a good level of liquid funds.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
Community Transport (Swadlincote) is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, and not having a share capital. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated January 20th 1994. Indemnity insurance covers the liability of the Directors and a Service Level Agreement is in place between the charity and Derbyshire County Council and also Staffordshire County Council.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
In accordance with the Articles of Association, newly appointed Trustees retire at the next Annual General Meeting together with one third of the existing Trustees by rotation. They may offer themselves for re- election for a further term of three years.
When appointing Trustees, the Board considers our requirements and any specialist skills candidates may have, in accordance with current legislation determined by law. Candidates must be nominated by existing parties with the Board's agreement, in an 'ex-officio' capacity (without voting rights).
Organisational structure
The Board of Trustees, which can have no less than three members, or one tenth of the membership, whichever is greater (but is not subject to a maximum upper limit), is responsible for the administration of the charity. The board and any subsequent sub committees thereof, meet regularly as required.
The purpose of these meetings is to discuss development of the charitable company, personnel issues, operational and financial matters. Managers have been appointed by the Trustees to manage the day to day operations of the charity. In order to facilitate effective operations these Managers have delegated authority (approved by the Trustees) for most operational matters including finance, personnel, statistical information and vehicle maintenance.
Induction and training of new trustees
Trustee Induction and Training is available to ensure Trustees understand their legal obligations under Charity / Company Law; Trustees are encouraged to attend induction so they are familiar with policies, procedures and working practices.
Trustees are actively encouraged to meet key employees and other Trustees and to assist the charity in its objectives at times other than meetings, for example, ensuring that a Health and Safety policy is in place and adhered to.

COMMUNITY TRANSPORT (SWADLINCOTE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
- 1: STATUTORY INFORMATION
Community Transport (Swadlincote) is a charitable company, registered in England and Wales. The charitable company's registered company number, registered charity number and registered office address can be found in the reference and administrative details of the Report of the Trustees.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The charity incurred losses in the two years ended 31 March 2020 due to the cessation of local grants in the 2019 year. Despite this, trustees and management have secured service contracts and implemented some elements of restructuring to reduce costs.
The effect of the COVID-19 global pandemic has reduced income levels due to school closures and reduced demand for group travel. The trustees have utilised the government furlough scheme, received some local government grants and re-negotiated monthly vehicle maintenance contracts. These measures have resulted in a surplus for the year ended 31 March 2021 which has enabled the charity to maintain a good level of liquid funds.
On this this basis, the assessment of the trustees is that the charity is a going concern.
Significant judgements and estimates
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the charitable company’s accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Depreciation — when calculating the charge for the year, the trustees consider the appropriateness of the accounting policy in orderto write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’:
* the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity, and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from Bus Service Operator's Grant in exchange for supplying services in the local area and income is recognised when the grant is receivable, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from services provided for community transport are recognised when the services have been provided, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
