TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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).

Since the company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

a. Policies and Objectives

The principal objectives as set out in the Memorandum of Association are to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the area covered by Fellrunner operations in the County of Cumbria. In particular the advancement of education, and relief of poverty, sickness, old age and distress through the provision of transport.

b. Activities for Achieiving Objectives

The charity operates bus services between Carlisle, Penrith and a number of local villages in the Eden District. This is the only source of transport for a large number of residents.

c. Volunteers

The company is grateful for the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in its service provision. The continued flow of volunteers from the community we serve is essential to the ongoing viability and success of Fellrunner. The flow has continued unabated since 1979 to our continued appreciation and relief.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

a. Review of Activities

As COVID restrictions eased early in 2022, passengers gradually returned to Fellrunner but not, at that time, in pre-pandemic numbers. Fellrunner continued to operate almost all services, albeit modifying the Carlisle services to save money but still ensuring all passengers could travel to the city at least once a week.

In a strong commitment to the future of the service, Fellrunner took delivery of a new Mercedes Sprinter based bus in January 2022 at a total cost of around £43k. This represented a considerable saving on the expected price of a new bus and was achieved by buying a standard bus on the spot market and by having volunteers modify the internal layout of the bus to suit Fellrunner’s requirements. The bus has proved a good investment, popular with passengers and drivers alike.

To address the gap in revenue from reduced passenger numbers, Fellrunner further developed its excursions and private hire offering in 2022. This proved very successful, achieving record levels of revenue, more than triple that of the prior year (which was affected by Covid). The excursion programme is now a fixture of the charity’s offering, much appreciated by passengers, many of whom have no other opportunity to visit places of interest outside of their own village. The programme also provides an important source of revenue for Fellrunner, in support of scheduled services.

During the year Fellrunner was successful in winning two tranches of grant finance from Cumbria County Council, whose support is gratefully acknowledged. One part went towards bus replacement and the other portion was used to publicise the Fellrunner service through various measures including mail drops to almost all houses within the Fellrunner catchment area. The Skelton Show, at which Fellrunner planned to exhibit was,

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

regrettably, cancelled at the last minute due to bad weather but Fellrunner will continue its marketing efforts in 2023.

As 2022 progressed, passenger numbers did increase, though still not reaching pre-pandemic levels. In response to changing requirements Fellrunner reviewed all its routes in late Autumn and entered 2023 with revised routes that offer passengers the chance to visit new edge of town retail facilities, with rail connections on every service and stops at popular new destinations, such as Lowther Castle.

The improvement in Fellrunner’s overall financial position during the year is very welcome and has allowed the trustees to commit, early in 2023, to the long-awaited purchase of a new low floor bus to improve services to persons of impaired mobility. 2023 has begun with encouraging growth in passenger numbers and Fellrunner is committed to providing services to match the increasing demand.

Fellrunner acknowledges the support of its many donors and all its volunteers, whose commitment is hugely appreciated and which is essential to its continued operation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

a. Reserves Policy

The charity has developed a reserves policy whereby the trustees annually review the reserves held in its unrestricted budget, ensuring there are sufficient funds to meet known liabilities and maintaining as healthy a balance as possible for contingencies.

The target set by the trustees is constantly under review and comprises six months unrestricted operating costs of approximately £20,000 together with a fund which has been designated to cover the purchase of a new bus.

Free reserves as at 31 December 2022 amounted to £24,392 (2021 - £28,989). This is above the target level of approximately £20,000. The trustees will take steps in the future to bring free reserves in line with the target level.

b. Principal Funding Sources

Funds are from three main sources: a) Fares charged to passengers. b) Cumbria County Council provides a concessionary fare rebate. c) Donations and grants received from supporters of the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

a. Constitution

The company is registered as charitable company limited by guarantee.

The company is constituted under a Memorandum and Article of Association dated 17 July 1997 and is a registered charity number 1064593

The principal activity of the company is to provide bus services linking Penrith and Carlisle to the Eden district villages.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FELLRUNNER VILLAGE BUS LIMITED (the 'company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022.

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the Trustees of the charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Fellrunner Village Bus Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Company status

The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

1.3 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.4 Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount the company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.6 Going concern

The Trustees have considered cash flow requirements covering a period of 12 months from the date of sign off and after consideration of all factors, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and machinery - 15% reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance
Computer equipment - 25% reducing balance

1.8 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

1.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.10 Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.11 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

Designated funds represent monies that the trustees of the charitable company have ring-fenced for the purchase of new buses. £14,000 was transferred out of the replacement bus fund as a contribution to the purchase of a new Mercedes sprinter van during the year. There remains a new bus fund designated balance of £85,000 as a contribution to future bus purchases.

Restricted funds are split into three categories as follows:

Fixed asset restricted funds represents buses purchased from specific grants where restrictions apply. The transfer in of £25,328 represents a contribution of £30,000 to the purchase of a new Mercedes Spinter bus less the disposal of an old Mercedes Sprinter bus with a book value of £4,672. The expenditure of £10,428 is the depreciation charge on these restricted fixed assets.

The replacement bus fund represents restricted funds for the purchase of a bus within the next two years. £15,000 has been received for this purpose from Cumbria County Council. £30,000 has been transferred from this fund to the fixed assets restricted fund as a contribution towards the purchase of a new Mercedes Sprinter bus during the year.
