Introduction Dear Friends, 2024-25 was a year of change and growth for Transport forAII and for the whole UK. During this reporting period, our research acted as a springboard for accessibility in urban planning. we grew the charity's membership by almost a third, used our platform to challenge transport leaders, and worked with fantastic Disabled people's organisations, charities and industry partners. Ahead of the General Election, Transport for All members contacted over 300 candidates, telling them why accessible transport must be a priority. Over half of them replied, pledged support, or met with us. Our political grovrth has seen us advise Secretaries of State for Transport, give evidence to the Transport Select Committee, and seen our work become integral to their recommendations. Our high-profile media coverage after Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson experienced a horrific passenger assistance failure helped elicit a promise from The Prime Minister: that accessibility will improve under Great British Rail. As work to renationalise our railways continues. we will hold him to that! As we cement our position as leaders in the transport sector, our staff team has grown, and we have welcomed new Trustees and senior team members with the skills we need to deliver our objectives. Over the financial year 2024-25, we would develop a co-leadership model whilst Caroline Stickland takes family leave, and we recruit a Co-chair. These choices reflect Transport for All's value of collaboration, inclusive practice and our belief in the power of Disabled leadership. As exciting plans for new campaigns to protect vital Pl P payments begin, and work across UK regions takes shape, we look forward to watching our new leaders grow, and the continued impact of Transport for All. Yours faithfully, Deborah Persaud and Jo Bridger, Co-chairs of Trustees and Caroline Stickland, CEO
Our work Transport for All is the only Disabled-led national charity fighting for transport justice and an accessible and inclusive transport system across every mode of transport. For Disabled people to have equitable access to society, transport must be accessible, safe and sustainable. This requires transformative change. For over 40 years Transport for All has taken the voices of our community directly to power holders, making the case for a future where Disabled people have equal access to transport, society and the economy. Transport Our focus is transport within the UK - the ways in which we travel from the place we live, for any purpose. This includes: Public transport (bus, train, tram, metro, and light rail), Private transport (car, taxi, and Private Hire Vehicle) Active travel (walking and wheeling, cycling, and micromobility) It includes every stage of a journey: finding information and planning, purchasing a ticket, getting to a stop or station, boarding or and leaving a vehicle, the experience on the way, the last mile. and making complaints should things go wrong. Justice Transport justice allows Disabled people to travel with the same freedom as non-Disabled people. It goes beyond access, to dismantling systems and infrastructure that harm us, replacing them with ones that work for everyone. Justice means inclusion by default and without exception, rather than a feel- good gesture, or a way of demonstrating corporate social responsibility. Disabled people must be included in this process - Nothing About Us Without Us. We must have meaningful involvement in the design, delivery, and evaluation of services, and our community s expertise should be sought out, believed, and appropriately compensated. Transport justice, disability justice, and climate justice are intertwined. Our Accessible Transport Survey found 71 % of Disabled people in our community
would like to use environmentally friendly modes of transport but are prevented from doing so by a lack of accessibility and availability. For all We are proud to be part of the vast and diverse Disabled community. In the UK, we are 16.1 million people1 spanning different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations and caringresponsibilities. Every Disabled person will have a different experience, some of us have conflicting access requirements, some of us have differing views - even if we share the same impairment, and many of us are impacted by multiple systems of oppression. This is why we seek to embed a pan-impairment and intersectional approach in everything we do. Disabled people We want to see change for all Disabled people across the UK - including people who don't use the word 'Disabled' to describe themselves. This includes those of us who are Deaf, neurodivergent, chronically ill, have a mental health condition, have age-related impairments. and people with both visible and non-visible impairments. We also represent the interests of carers and family members. We use the social model definition of disability: the view that we are Disabled by barriers that exist in the world, rather than our individual bodies or minds. Those of us living with impairments or illness are not inherently 'Disabled- this is something that is created through exclusion. In a truly accessible world where all barriers are removed, we would still experience the effects of our impairments (such as fatigue, muscle weakness, or blindness) - but living with these would not result in exclusion from society. We work to achieve this in five priority areas. disabilit stati%tic%: Pr val Research briefing, October 2024 nc ri , House of Commons
Justice for Communities Every Disabled person should have the tools and resources we need to travel. This includes planning and making journeys and challenging and changing systems when we are blocked from travelling. To deliver this, we: Inform: provide accurate. up to date and accessible information relating to rights to concessions, transport, and related benefits Challenge: provide the highest quality Disabled-led casework service and develop more campaigning resources This year the service strengthened partnerships and improved support pathways for Disabled people. We built relationships with other Disabled peoples organisations, fostering connections with our community, including: Presenting our work at community groups run by and for Disabled people such as Global Eyes and Canning Town Older Peoples Reference Group Collaborating with Southwark Day Centre forAsylum Seekers to support travel applications for Disabled people seeking asylum. Our collaborations have guided plans for future work, offering upskilling to organisations supporting Disabled people from marginalised communities. Peer-led evaluation This year we reviewed our advice and casework services. In line with our values, we recruited and trained Disabled peer researchers to conduct in- depth interviews with people who had used the service, or who could benefit from it. The review created user-centred recommendations to improve the accessibility, relevance, and impact of our advice work. The team also produced training materials for current and future staff, a template to strengthen referral pathways with specialist organisations. and suggestions for additions to safeguarding work. These achievements demonstrate our commitment to building inclusive communities where Disabled people can access the information, services, and support we all need to thrive.
Advice services Transport for All's advice services support Disabled people to plan journeys and challenge transport providers who fail our community. We support people who are wrongly refused access to travel schemes, help with complaints, and take cases to the Ombudsman and judicial review where transport providers failed to resolve them. With client permission, we ensure this work feeds into our influencing and advocacy activities. During the year we supported 358 Disabled people, with advice from journey planning help to in-depth appeals. People we supported- Rita2 Rita" is a Deaf woman who requested support with a Blue Badge application. She does not use British Sign Language (BSL) and relies on captions for communication. Rita had sought advice from charities who were not able to support her access needs. After this she expressed reluctance to approach seNices, questioning whether her impairment was "severe enough" Rita's Blue Badge application had been rejected on the basis that her young child could travel with her to alert her to oncoming traffic - a deeply problematic and unsafe assumption. We reassured Rita and worked with her to gather evidence for her application, helping her navigate difficulties in obtaining documents. We secured help from the Royal Association for Deaf People, and shared letters of support to accompany her application. Rita's experiences highlight the impact of discrimination and ableist assumptions in decision-making, and why aCSsible, person-centred support for deaf and Disabled people matters so much. We continue to support Rita through the Blue Badge appeals process. 2 Name and personal details changed and redacted to protect privacy
Justice in Systems Disabled people must be involved in decision-making, to compel power holders to deliver accessible transport and streets. This means Disabled people's lived experiences must inform decision making and policy, nationally and locally. Decision makers across Governments, local authorities, and industry must act to remove barriers for Disabled people and deliver fully accessible transport and streets. To deliver this, we: Influence: Hold power holders to account by monitoring actions and speaking up when policies or progress aren't delivered Campaign: Build a strong and connected national movement through creative campaigning Through strategic campaigning. coalition building, and policy advocacy, we challenge exclusion and push for a transport system that works for everyone. In 2024-25, we built significant momentum in driving systemic change: We joined the Transport Secretary for the launch of the National Inte rated Trans ort Strate calling for accessibility to be embedded in every stage of transport planning. We gave evidence to the Transport Committee's inquiry on managing the impact of street works, and the 'Travel for disabled passengers, inquiry. The Committee's Access Denied re ort adopted several of our recommendations - including the need for consistent accessibility standards and stronger regulatory enforcement. When the report launched, we spoke to BBC Breakfast and on news bulletins throughout the day. amplifying the voices of our community. We worked with activists to highlight concerns that the Govemment's rail reform consultation erased accessibility, and risked creating a network where accessibility will continue to be deprioritised, and Disabled people's voices silenced. We met Ministers for Transport on multiple occasions. building relationships that have helped keep accessibility on the agenda. Our work was mentioned in Parliament 13 times, reflecting our growing influence at the highest levels of policymaking.
We coordinated the National Accessible Transport Policy Forum, bringing together leading organisations to align on shared influencing goals, including Guide Dogs and RNID. We launched the For All Manifesto, setting out six steps to build an inclusive transport system. Available in BSL, Easy Read, and screen- reader formats, the manifesto reached over 10,000 people and was shared with every prospective parliamentary candidate ahead of the 2024 General Election. We responded to 14 government consultations, ensuring Disabled people's experiences and priorities were reflected across a range of national transport and infrastructure decisions. We worked with YouGov on the second National Accessible Transport Survey, co-produced with Disabled people, to dig deeper into the lived realities behind the statistics and create a time series of data. We have moved from reactive campaigning to agenda-setting leadership in our work this year, compelling decision-makers to listen, respond, and act.
Justice in Practice Our lived experience as disabled people must be meaningfully embedded. When we share our skills to improve accessibility we must be paid for our time, and the transport sector must respond to our insights, and embed them. This requires decision makers across Govemments, industry and local authorities to have the knowledge, skills and confidence, taking a pan- impairment approach. To deliver this, we: Research: Build a robust evidence base of data-driven solutions to access barriers. based on Disabled-led research and insights from our community Advise: Deliver high quality, co-produced, Disabled-led training and consultancy to the transport sector and associated sectors In 2024-25, our team made significant advancements in research, training, and capacity building to achieve our vision of accessible transport. We launched research exploring how Disabled people are excluded from city planning, but adding measures using existing data can radically change this. The Accessibility Review of the Public Transport Accessibility Levels (APTAL) Index launched at London City Hall with support from the London Assembly Transport Committee Chair and members. This allowed us to develop even stronger relationships with Transport for London (TfL) and the Greater London Authority s planning teams, strengthening our influence in shaping transport accessibility improvements within the capital. The groundbreaking research has been a springboard for the development of a metric to measure accessibility across the UK. Growing our team to lead and expand this crucial pillar of the organisation's work, we strengthened our ability to create and deliver training that promotes accessibility, undertakes research that provides insights into our community's requirements and provide expert consultancy to transport operators. These roles are designed to provide in-house expertise in co-production. Through this, our team has expanded its reach and is well placed to continue driving fonmard improvements in accessible transport. 10
Justice in Society Disabled voices must be amplified, and our message heard and acted upon. This requires our movement to grow so that Disabled people's lived experiences are heard by society in our own words. To deliver this, we: Connect: Deliver membership networks and peer support for all Disabled people Communicate: Influence the public through digital and traditional media This year our newly-founded Communications and Engagement team has increased public awareness of transport accessibility, grown our membership, and helped preserve the history of accessible transport. Working with our members We achieved a 30 % growth in membership across the UK, including Disabled people, transport industry professionals, and decision-makers. Members took part in research and consultancy opportunities via our popular newsletter, and national campaigns work. We also supported local member-led campaigns, with work from coastal path access in Wales, to bus passes in Hampshire, step-free access in North East and North West England and wheelchair-accessible taxi provision in Yorkshire. Working with the media We raised the profile of transport justice, and amplified disabled people's voices through 80 pieces of media coverage. We secured high-profile interviews on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, You and Yours and BBC Breakfast, and across press including the Financial Times, The Observer, The Telegraph and The Times. We reached regional audiences through outlets in Oxford, Wales, Birmingham, London, and Manchester, and connected with engineers, urban planners and the transport industry through specialist publications. 11
Reaching people online Our social media community has thrived, with powerful content. Over 14,000 people viewed our content on the barriers Disabled people face to sustainable travel. 10,000 people viewed our posts demanding action after Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson experienced a horrific accessibility failure. 10,000 people responded to our condemnation of a transport publicity stunt that endangered members of our community. Expanding accessibility We achieved WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for our website, showing it is accessible to all users. We also worked with Signapse to implement a British Sign Language (BSL) website plugin on key pages. We have committed to producing plain text, BSL and Easy Read versions of our research reports. These are already proving popular, for example people with learning disabilities at Dimensions UK used our Easy Read 'Are We There Yet?, report to produce a podcast for their community. Preserving our history Disabled people's history is often ignored or forgotten. With the 30th anniversary of the first Disability Discrimination Act, we have been working to preserve the history of accessible transport through our archive project. The project was overseen by a steering group of Disabled people and enhanced by relationships with other Disabled people's organisations. We captured oral histories from Disabled campaigners and transport professionals, preserving their experiences for future generations. We have catalogued and scanned over 2,600 historical articles, protest banners and leaflets from Disabled protestors. storing many to keep them safe. The archive launch, which would take place in autumn 2025 celebrated Disabled activist's accessibility achievements and preserve Disabled people's lives and histories for research and lebratIon. 12
Justice in our Organisation Our organisational practices must reflect our commitment to our vision. This requires Transport for All to have a diverse and inclusive team. good governance, a sustainable future, and strong processes. To deliver this, we will: Be a proud DPO: Maintain our DPO status and provide a supportive culture for our team, with a focus on learning and flexibility. Govern well: Achieve and maintain a high level of governance and transparency. Grow sustainably: Achieve financial stability through diverse funding sources. Improve processes: Take a data-driven approach to improving our processes across the organisation. Through recruitment and review, our organisation strengthened its leadership, governance and internal operations this year, supporting our mission and sustaining our growth. We welcomed five new Trustees from across the UK to our Board, broadening our diversity and regional representation. This infusion of new perspectives is enhancing strategic oversight and decision-making. Recognising the vital role of our expert staff, we reinforced our commitment to their wellbeing by introducing clinical supervision. This supports staff resilience and professional development, strengthening our organisational capacity. Additionally, we successfully implemented a new staff appraisal process, incorporating quarterly reviews and 360-degree feedback. This comprehensive system supports continuous improvement, promotes accountability, and encourages staff development. These achievements underpin our continued progress, equipping us to continue serving our community and drive positive change. 13

Structure, governance, and management Transport for All is the current legal name of the organisation known as Transport for All. It is a membership organisation of individual and organisational members. The individual members are majority Disabled and older people. The trustees who served during the year are shown in this report. Trustees are appointed at the biennial general meeting but can be co-opted onto the Board during the year. There is an induction process for all new members of the team, which also includes new trustees.

The Board of Trustees met 6 times during the year, discussing all aspects of the charity's work and finances. Members of the Board must declare any potential conflicts of interest at each meeting; no Board member has undertaken work for the organisation in a professional capacity beyond their normal role. The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. We undertake financial risk assessments on an annual basis, as part of the process of setting budgets and monitoring expenditure. The Trustees are responsible for the governance of the organisation., they approve policy, work plans, and strategy on a regular basis, as well as monitoring the finances through regular updates and deciding upon remuneration. The day-to-day running of the charity is delegated to the CEO of the organisation. The officers of the charity are the Trustees, including the Co-chairs and the Treasurer.

systems and infrastructures. including the provision of accessible door-to-door transport" The charity has referred to and followed the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. Statement of Board of Trustees, Responsibilities The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements Prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 18
In so far as the trustees are aware: There is no relevant information of which the charitable company's Independent Examiner is unaware; and The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Independent Examiner is aware of that information. Financial review 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 2025. 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). Reserves policy At the year end the charity held total funds of £653,195 (2024 £336,824). The charity aims in the long term to have unrestricted reserves not invested in tangible assets to cover three to six months, operating expenditure. At this level the Board feels it could sustain the work of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. whilst seeking replacement funding or restructuring its activities. At 31 March 2025 free reserves amounted to £359,474 (2024 - £154,421), which meets the policy. This demonstrates significant restoring of our reserves. achieved by diversifying our income streams to increase financial sustainability. Trustees are proud to have achieved this despite the UK facing increasing costs and challenging inflation rates. The Trustees take a prudent approach to growing the charity while ensuring delivery of impact. The charity continues to seek new sources of funding to continue to meet the Reserves Policy while enabling the charity to fulfil its charitable objectives to the fullest extent possible. Trustees have reviewed the risks of the charity and have procedures in place to mitigate them. 19
Future plans In 2025-26 we will continue to deliver against our 2024-29 five-year plan. For Communities: We will strengthen our advice service by implementing recommendations from our peer-led service review to make it more accessible and effective, and develop new staff training materials to support a wider range of requests and more complex casework, for example from Disabled people from marginalised groups. In Systems". We will continue our national campaigning to reform the transport system, using the findings from our 2025 Accessible Transport Survey to influence the next wave of government transport policy. We'll expand our regional influencing by introducing our first dedicated staff member for the Transport for the North region. In Practice: We will undertake the next iteration of the National Accessibility Transport Survey, undertake groundbreaking research that will influence and support decision makers to remove barriers to transport. We will develop a new suite of training materials that will support staff, managers and decision makers in their understanding of the Social Model of Disability and remove barriers. In Society: We will continue to grow our powerful media presence, raising the voice of Disabled people and the importance of transport accessibility in the media, and connecting with members to secure transport justice. We will launch an online archive sharing the long history of the fight for accessible transport in the UK. and the barriers Disabled people have dismantled. In our Organisation: We will focus on embedding a new co-leadership model whilst developing and supporting the wellbeing of our staff.
