STRucfuRE. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Objectives and activities for the public benefft.
Uttlesford Cornmunity Travel (U￿) is a charity and is registered as a Company Limited
by Guarantee and is therefore govemed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The charity's objective and its principal attivity is to provide a non-profit community
door to door transport service for the residents of the District of Uttlesford who,
because of age. mental or physical disability or rural isolation. are unable to use public
transport to meet their needs.
The charity is organised so that the Trustees/Directors meet monthly to manage its
affairs. There is also an Advisory Committee that meets on alternate months. This
allows the Trustees to obtain support and advi￿ from user5 of our service and members
of other local representative organisations, including local government and the voluntary
sector.
Risk management
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

DIRECTORS. AND TRusfEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31sf MARCH 2021
Public benefit statement
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty in the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard"
to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in reviewing the aims and objectives in
planning future artivities and in reviewing the outcome of our work. The public benéfit of the Charity's
activities is outlined within this report through our activities and achievement and in planning future
development.
Development, activbtles and achievements this year
WithoLSt doubt 2020121 was the most difficult year and in many way5 a life changlng period that
the whole nation has experienced. knke the majority of businesses and organisations, u￿ had to
close down from the introduction of lockdown in March 2020 and we were unable to start
providing our services until the beginning of August.
Before we commenced our artivities we did everything in our power to ensure that our vehicles,
staff and members were operating in as safe conditions as possible. Our vehicles were modified to
a maximum of four seats with a solid plastic surround protetting the passengers faces.
All passengers had their temperatures taken and hands sanitFsed on entering the vehide.
Although we only transported a fraction of our rnembers compared to previous years. we did
provide a valuable service getting our members to h05Pital and doctors appointments and were
recognised by the West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group as a vital means of getting both our
members and in some cases non members to the vaccination ￿￿treS when they started
operating durtng December 2020.
The Hospitsl Car SeNice has not been operating Sin￿ March 2020 because of safety con￿M5
and social distancing requirements. The service will hopefully ￿suMe in 2021 when we are
convinced that it is safe to do so.
In relation to our grants we were delighted that all our funders provided our full grants, Saffron
Walden Town Council increased their grant by £IOOO and Great Dunmow Town Council granted
us £5000. For all these grants we are very grateful
Our Book-a-Ride membership at the year end was 749 which was fewer than last year but
remarkably good considering that a much smaller number of our members used our services.
This dernonstrates that our members intend using us. as shops and retail open again in AprÉl 2021.
Our group membership was 55 which is 30 fewer than last year but reflects the fact that many
groups will not be meeting for some time. As a resuEt of the many restrittions still in place at the
year end our passenger numbers We￿ only a frattion of the previous year.
We finished the year with a surplu5 of £38,500 mainly as a result of the monies we received from
the furlough scheme and another record year for fijndraising. While this is a far greater surplus
than we have ever had it will be required In 2021122 a5 we are currently budgeting for a sizeable
deficit.

or the Ye
Developmenk activities and achievements this year (cont'd)
I would like to thank all the office staff and drivets for their continued dedication to our members
and would again particularly like to thank all our volunteer5 who give up their own time to ensure
that our members, needs are met. As I mention every year. we are very reliant on volunteer5,
without whom the Hospital Car service would not operate at all (when it becomes possible),
and we would not be able to fulfil our passenger journey5 or be able to cover all the
administration in the office. When it is calculated on a commercial basis, even in a year when
attivity was much reduced our volunteers still managed to save us £18,000.
STE
As always, we are immensely grateful to our prinapal funder Essex County Councll (ECC ) and
our second most important funder Uttlesford District Council {UDC)- Without their grants and
those from Saffron Walden Town Counal (SV&TC), West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group
(WECCG) Great Dunmow Town Council we would not be able to funrtion.
I would also like to thank all the Town and Parish Councils, local organisations and individuals who
made donations to us this year. These. together with the prrKeed5 of our fundraising event, are
a vital part of our income.
Future developments
Our main focus at the start and throughout 2021/22 will be to ensure that we are operationally
ready for what we hope will be a greatly increased use of our services. both by our individual and
group members as a result of the fatt that the majority of our users will have received both
vaccine doses. lockdown eases and our members regain confiden￿. We have been encouraged
by the increased use of our Servi￿ since the relaxing of the Lockdown rules on the 12 April.
As soon as we believe that it is safe to do so we will reintrodu￿ the Hospital Car Service following
strict safety rules with all drivers being supplied with the necessary Personal Protertion Equipment.
We will also introduce a phased approach to increasing the current bu5 seating capacity of 4 to
the normal one of 15. Although we are keen to get back to some kind of normal operation the
safeguarding of our members will be of paramount importance.
After reporting another year when our fundraising was the largest we have ever had fundraising
continues to remain a vÈtal part of our annual income and the Twstees and General Manager will
continue to source donations and grants from extemal organisations. We hope that we will be
able to reinstate our Christmas cOn￿rt which has become an important part of our income.
As the use of our Servi￿ increases we will again be in need of more volunteers for the Hospital
Car Service, minibus drivers and to help with our administration and we will use all the means at
our disposal to achieve this.
Our office staff will as always ensure that we are obtaining and using the full capabilities of
Flexiroute the computer system which allows us to plan journeys and whith calculates all the
metrics that we require to operate our service in our ongoing quest to make our operation as
efficient as possible. We have seen a very positive improvement in the way we can plan trips and
the staff are keen to continue to ensu￿ that we build on this.
I would like to thank my fellow Trustees who unstintingly give of their time and talents, and also
the fflernbers of our Advisory Committee and all the staff and drivers for their efft)rts for u￿ and
the help and guidan￿ they have given me during the last year.

Reserves policy and going concern
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserve5 of the
charity, at a level which equates to approximately three to six months of unrestrttted
expenditure.
This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs.
Unrestritted funds were maintained at this level throughout the year.
The Accounts have been prepared on a going cOn￿rn basis. No material uncertainties
that cast significant doubt about the abilty of the Charity to continue as a going concern have
been identified by the Trustees.

RT TO THE TRusfEES
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on
pages 6 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are a150 directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company a￿ not required to be audited under
part 16 of the 2006 Att and that an independent examination is needed.
The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and l am qualified to undertake the examination
by being a qualified member of The Association of Certified Chartered Accountants.
Having satlsfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is
eligible for independent examittation, it is my responsibility to:
Examlne the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Art:
Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions gtven by the Charity Commission under
settion 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Act, as amended; and
State whether particular matter5 have come to my attention
Basis of independent examÈnerfs statement
My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the general Directlons given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
a compari50n of the accounts presented with those records. It also indudes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedure5 undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a "true and fair view" and the retM)rt is limtted to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent examinerfs statement
En connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that. in any material respect, the requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordance with settion 386 of the Companles Act 2006: and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accountong records. comply wrth the accountlng
requlrements of sertion 396 of the Companies Art 2006 and with the methods and principles of

To which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the accounts to be reached.

employees. During the year the Charity contributed £3.681 to the scherne (2020 £3,780).
The pension plan is managed by the Peoples Pension. The total expenses ratio of the plan is 3%
and this is deducted from the investment fund annually. The Charity has no liability beyond
making its contributions and paying auoss the deductions for the employees contributions.
18 Going forward the Trustee5 have decided that all new vehide purchases will be capitalised and
written down over their useful economic lives.
If the policy had been applied to our existing fleet of six motor vehides the net book
value of the vehicles at 31 March 2021. would have been £102,350.
