SOUTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2024 The trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the year ended 28th February 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published (FRS 102) (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 St January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES To provide a community transport service for such inhabitants of Toxteth in Merseyside and its neighbourhood who need such a service because of age, sickness or disability (mental or physical), or poverty or because of lack of availability of adequate and safe public passenger services. To provide or assist in the provision of facilities (with particu18r emphasis on transportation facilities) for recreation, or other leisure time occupation and interests of Social Welfare or in the pursuant of employment, provided that. such facilities are provided with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities are primarily intended, and those persons have need of such facilities as aforesaid by reason of their youth, age, infirmity, disability, culture, poverty or economic circumstances To relieve poverty and provide aid (particularly aid in the fomi of transportation), to people suffering from economic or social disadvantage by reason of lack of mobility. Public Benefit Statement In considering the objectives and activities, the trustees have considered Charity Commission guidan￿ on public benefit to ensure that the organisation is meeting its public benefit requirements. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Over the past twelve months South Central Community Transport {SCCT) has continued to recover from the effects of Covid 19. Although the last lockdown was in January 2021 there are still a number of our service users that have only just regained confidence to access our community transport services and our Wheel Meet Again Project and our Warm Hub. The increase in confidence by these service users is reflected in an increase in passenger numbers of 240kn compared with 202112022. Something else that has led to the increase in passenger numbers is the introduction of two newer minibuses to our fleet in YP17 ULM and BX67 zwr. Although they were purchased in the 2022-2023 financial year it was in the 2023-2024 financial year the benefits of two newer lower mileage minibuses would be felt. The replacement of tsvo older minibuses with high mileage and poor reliability with newer lower mileage minibuses has led to a reduction of 280 in repairs. An increase of 16 % overall minibus reliability and usage. In December 2022 we started our first warm hub for members of the local community and VVMA members, this service provided a lifeline for people suffering from the cost-of-living crisis. We provide a safe and warm space each day and provide refreshments. This has been a huge success. In December 2023 we received funding from LCVS to cover the running costs so that we could continue for the second year running.

SOUTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2024 Wheel Meet Again continues to provide an essential service to the over 50's in Liverpool suffering from loneliness and isolation. Each week they provide a Job club, Ukulele Class, V*theel Chat Again Group, Arts & Crafts Class. As In previous years Vtheel Meet Again have continued to develop its services in step with what our members want and need, this led to the introduction of two new popular classes in line dancing class, Sound Bath Meditation. also continues to provide regular days out to members. FINANCIAL REVIEW Total income in the year was £247,858 (2023.. £237,240) of which £95,182 (2023. £101,061), related to funding for projects upon which restrictions are placed. Total expenditure in the year was £239,677 (2023: £229,776) leaving a surplus for the year of £8,181 (2023. surplus £7,464). At 28th February 2024 the charitable company's reserves stood at £323,632 (2023.. £315,451) of which £56,058 (2023.. £45,798) repr8S8nt8d restricted funds. Risk Management The main risks to which Ihe charitabl8 company is exposed as identified by the Trustees have been considered and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Reserves Policy It is the policy of the charitable company to maintain unreslricted funds, which are free reserves at a level to cover redundancy provision, and three months, running costs should no further funding be received. As at the end of the financial year the unrestricted funds totalled £267,574 less revaluation reserves £286,275 leaving a deficit balance of £19,701 (2023: surplus 58,358). The charitable company requires £16,681 for redundancy provision, and £38,689 for three months, running costs, (total £55,370). Although it is SCCT'S policy to hold our full three months reserve to cover running costs and redundancy provision to be used if SCCT loses all regular income. Like many small charities this is hard to do. In practice SCCT holds approximately 2 months running costs and over the year this fluctuales, however we are lucky to have a steady stream of income from minibus hire to support the main organisation and a combination of fundraising and external funding to cover the cost of our over 50's project Wheel Meet Again. In the current financial climate SCCT is not unlike many charities in facing an ever-increasing rise in running costs. It is for this reason that we will be increasing our pricing for our community transport operations to cover our running costs. The running costs we are required to keep in reserve as detailed in these accounts are for SCCT Community Transport operations. In the event that the Vtheel Meet Again project could not fundraise the extra costs required to run an activity that has not been funded by an external funder then that activity would not take place. Both the organisation and the project operate under strict spending rules, where if we do not have the funds to run something, then we will not run it. This was the case during the covid-19 pandemic where SCCT lost all income from its community transport operations. This steep decline in income was largely met with a steep decline in non-essential expenditure. Thankfully we received funding from external funders to cover our core running costs for this period.

SOUTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2024 In the unfortunate event that such an event happened again and such funding streams where not available then SCCT would meet any costs not met with incom8 by selling assets such as our minibuses, But this is only as a very last resort. As mentioned, we will be reviewing our prices for our community transport to a level where we can increase our income, but not deter our service users from continuing to use our services. We also plan on reviewing our expenditure and ways in which we can reduce it. In line with this we plan on continuing to fundraise and apply for external funding for our Vvheel Meet Again project. Plans for the future On 3rd May 2024 our Annual General Meeting is scheduled where board members will meet to discuss the progress of the charity over the past year and plan for the future. We will continue to analyse the needs of our Vvheel Meet Again members and plan further classes and events. We will also review our current fleet and see where savings can be made and if there is possibility to replace parts of our ever-ageing fleet. We also have Food & Hygiene training planned for March 2024 for all our staff and volunteers to ensure that we are meeting the correct standards when delivering our warm hub and l+Vheel Meet Again Project. Our funding manager will continue to review the needs of the organisation and apply for funding to continue to provide our services. Such as building repair work and driver and staff training.
