Altbougb the Government requirements regarding distancing and cleansiDE had ended by the start of this report, the Scheme has maintainejl enhanced cleansing regime on all the vchicles aDd voluntarily limited the number of pa5seDgMY th¢ minibuscs bcluw their desiglled rapacity. The chBrty is a member of the rA)mmunity transport association (No 39633). Publie Benefrt Requirement The Directors of the Company have read the Charity Commission guidance on "thc public benefit requirement when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidaDC¢ is relevant. This requires ¢vcry orgaDi5ation set up for one or more charitable aim5 to demonstrate that its aims are for the "public benefit" The two key principles of public benefit l) Th¢r¢ must be all identifiable benefit or benefits and 2) Benefit must be to the publiL or a 5e¢tion of the public. In looking to ascertain how the Company meets the above criteTi& it is nettssary to remind the reader of th¢ Compangs . The objective set oul in the Collwany's MemordDdum is th¢ provision of a CoTtHnunity TrdDSPQrt Service for those r¢5idcnts of Castle Point Borough who are unable to access conventional public tran5POrt baus¢ Qf iTnPairn]¢Dt, age or lack of available public trallspjri 5erviccs. The Directors are of th¢ opinion that the CDmpany m¢¢ts the above key principle5 foT the following reasons -. ID relitloD to Prinefiple (l) a) the provision of a specific tronsport service to people who would not in tbe ordinary ¢ourse bc able to Usc public transport 15 Glearty J relief to thuye in need and as such qualifies under the Charities Act as a "cbaritable purpose" b) the benefit to the bencficiarics is clearly related to the aims of the Company. c) akbougb the provision of motori5ed tronsport has some harmful effect on the environment, the benefits are Gonsid¢r¢d to outweigb these coDr¢rns especially as it is Company policy to mitigY4te the effrd of C02 emissions wherever possible. ID relatiOD to Princlple (2) a) the bencfiGiarAes are spe¢ifirally aligned to the Company's aims. b) althougb the public benefit is restricted under the aim8 to the impalred or dlsadvanraged residents of Castle PoinL the number of regisiered beneficiarie5 coupled with the numbLT L)f rL¥idents who are eligible to qualify such 15 CQtL5idcird to be 5ufficiendy wid¢ as to be not unreasonable for public ben¢fit purposes .Individual scheme members arc required to pay an annual sUbscri10n of £20. This level of fee is not unreasonable and shuuld not deter or exclude merllbership by virtile of iDabi]ity to pay howcver. should th¢ Scheme be made awarc of extreme bardybip. thr TNstccs havc adoptcd a poli of off¢rillg a 3 monthly subscription of £5. Transport charges are CQDsid¢red very compctitive comparLd to the private sertor. c) people An poverty ar¢ Dot excluded from Ihc Scheme and ID fl b¢nefit from il the level of fr¢s And ¢harg¢s not seen as a bar to entry, d) any private benefits from runnin8 the scheme would be incidenTal.

Car schemc client membership has increascd from 533 tu 1222 (please refer to the "Achievement and Perfonnance section) up until the end of March 2024.
