We started in October 2019 with a previous year end surplus of £20K, the Berkshire School contracts were secure until July 2021 and we had on-going Bucks contracts, and although we knew it was imperative to continue to seek additional work particularly with groups, we knew we had sufficient funds together with our reserves to cover any eventuality. As previously, the ageing fleet of buses with the resultant expense of continuous vehicle repairs to ensure road worthiness remained a source of concern. In July 2020 we were grateful to the Rotary Club of Slough for their donation of £6K to purchase a good second hand minibus. SBC funding via the SPACE consortia continues at present but will cease at the end of June 2021. The new streamlined book-keeping had improved efficiency with better credit control. Routine transport work continued until 23[rd] March 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic forced the Government to “Lockdown” all activity other than food shops and emergency services, particularly leaving elderly and vulnerable people at risk. Our Management Team were very quick to source and initiate ways in which SCTS could best be utilised in this time of crisis for the benefit of the community of Slough and surrounding area. With the promise of continuing schools contract funding for any Covid-19 work carried out, and safe in the knowledge that we had well trained staff, SCTS was soon involved in pharmacy and shopping deliveries and supporting vulnerable residents. The safety of the staff has always been paramount and every care has been taken to provide PPE and other protection and the Operations Manager has always been available to give additional support when necessary. SCTS has been enormously grateful to the team of volunteers who have willingly come forward to help and for the grants and donations we have received specifically to fund work during the pandemic - SCVS £500; Garden Centre £500; Shanly Foundation £3,000; Berkshire Community Fund £5,000; Edward Gosling Foundation £6,000; and URC Kingsway £5,052 (see page 22 Income from donations and legacies Financial Statement). Some children returned to school each day from May half term but with a shorter school day staff were able to dovetail school runs with continuing pharmacy and shopping deliveries and by the middle of July 2020 6,500 deliveries had been carried out. SBC funding for any pandemic work during the month of August continued which compensated for the loss of our usual group day trips. In September all schools returned with Covid restrictions remaining in place and once again pharmacy and shopping trips were managed in tandem. It has been enormously gratifying to receive many accolades as a result of the work and support given by SCTS during this unprecedented time - the visit of the High Sheriff of Berkshire and the Mayor of Slough, and a letter of appreciation from the Director of Adult Services at SBC (Alan Sinclair). There have also been many letters of appreciation from service users saying how they valued the safe and friendly service. In the early part of 2021 we were saddened to hear of the death of Colin Pill, one of our members of the Board of Trustees, who had had ongoing serious health problems for some time. He was very well respected as a trustee and we were grateful for his helpful contribution over a number of years. Trying to attract Trustees with the appropriate skills remains a source of concern for the existing members of the Board who have met 7 times in the year, 4 of which have been held on Zoom. We feel very fortunate that we have not had to furlough any of the staff and the Board of Trustees is enormously grateful for the initiative and dedication shown by the CEO and the support and dedication of all of his team which we believe has helped to showcase the value and safety of the service SCTS offers the community of Slough both during normal times and those in times of crisis. Ray Gray Chairman of the Board of Directors 4 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** The Trustees present their report and the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended September 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, 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 on 16 July 2014 (as amended by Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016) **.** ## **TRUSTEES OF THE CHARITY** The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purposes of charity law. The trustees who have served during the year and since the year end were as follows: Mr R Gray (Chairman) Mrs E Cryer (Vice Chairman) Miss M Martinez Monroy (Honorary Treasurer) Mr S Laryea-Goldsmith (stood down 22[nd] February 2020) Mr R Mingard Mrs Jane Riley (stood down 22[nd] February 2020) Mr Colin Pill (stood down on 8[th] February 2021) ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The object of the Charity is to provide a Community Transport and ShopMobility service for such of the inhabitants of Slough and its neighbourhood who are in need of such services because of age, sickness or disability (mental or physical), or poverty or because of a lack of availability of adequate and safe public passenger services. The object of the Charity and its desire to provide a public benefit is specifically met by the following aims: - We aim to provide a service which regularly transports the aforementioned groups from their homes to specific locations in vehicles which are adapted to cope with mobility impaired people primarily within Slough and the surrounding areas. - We also aim to extend this service to occasional groups and individuals who wish to avail themselves of local facilities which they would find hard to access without suitable transportation. - Additionally, we aim to provide an electric wheelchair/ scooter service so individuals can have their own transport to access shops and services primarily located around the centre of Slough. - We aim to provide the delivery of essential services to the community that require the usage of transport. We have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT** The provision of community transport, shopmobility and essential services for such of the inhabitants of Slough and its neighbourhood who are in need of such services because of age, sickness or disability, or poverty or because of a lack of availability of adequate and safe public passenger services. This is met by the provision of a transport service (passengers or assistance to non passengers) and the short-term loan of wheelchairs and scooters. 5 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** ## **STRATEGIC REPORT** ## **Achievements and performance** The achievements and performance for Slough Community Transport and ShopMobility can be measured in terms of the activities that are delivered to the community and their social impact. ## **ACTIVITIES** ## **Dial A Ride/ Out and About** ## **October 2019 – March 2020** - Transport provided 6 days a week with the aim of having 13 accessible vehicles available Monday to Friday and 1 vehicle on Saturdays for 50 weeks of the year. - Extension of the service before 8.30am and beyond 5pm, giving members greater flexibility and scope to venture out later or earlier in the day. - 6900 people transported to various destinations. - Provided free transport to carers to enable them to accompany members to appointments - Enabled Nursing home residents to attend concerts, Art Exhibitions and family events. - Continued partial funding for Out and About service for the three years January 2016-December 2018 from the SPACE consortium (using Slough Borough Council funding) ## **March 2020 – September 2020** - Dial a Ride services suspended in response to the global Covid-19 pandemic and UK Government instructions for people to stay at home. - New services launched to deliver food shopping and prescription medications to all those who were unable to shop for themselves owing to age or ill health (the ‘Shielding list’) ## **Contracts with Slough Borough Council** - Provided 10 School Contracts to assist 54 pupils with SEND to access education ## **Shopmobility** - Maintained Town Centre base - Project operational for 24 weeks in the year - Provided an information hub for wide ranging Disability enquiries - Sold a range of disability equipment at subsidised prices. - Closed in March 2020 in response to Covid Pandemic ## **Shoppers Helper** - . - Operational for 24 weeks of the year, Monday to Friday - 30 time slots were funded by the Charity and made available from 1st October 2019 for severely disabled people who were assisted in doing their own shopping. 6 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** ## **SOCIAL IMPACT – from 1[st] October to 20[th] March 2020** **Groups Supported:** Total of 1084 people transported through 146 organised trips ||Berkshire Blind Society|132 passengers across 12 trips| |---|---|---| ||Slough Disabled Men’s

7 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** ## **Employment** The direct services are provided by a team of 24 staff (drivers and passenger assistants) who between them have 144 years of Community Transport experience, specialist training in the management of long term conditions, including epilepsy and drivers who have completed the National Minibus Driver Training Scheme (MIDAS). ## **Volunteers** Pandemic response volunteers – 14 people _**Images: staff Covid-19 support services 2020**_ ## **RISK MANAGEMENT** The Board has conducted a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the on-going operations and finances. In summary these risks are financial loss and/or loss of reputation caused by negligent or wrongful acts or omissions by persons acting on behalf of SCTS. Appropriate systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks which the Charity faces. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal control risks are minimised by authorisation procedures for all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, members and visitors. Control procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the Charity. The review of the risk in 2020 involved appropriate provisions to ensure that our staff, passengers, others were safe and significant expenditure was made towards PPE required during the global pandemic. Furthermore, insurances are arranged on an annual basis that provide the following coverage: - Public Liability - Employer Liability - Fleet Minibus - ShopMobility 8 | P a g e ## **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW (INCLUDING RESERVES POLICY)** The Charity’s key financial objective is to ensure financial stability and continued solvency, so that it can deliver its aims and objectives. The Charity has registered a net surplus of £38,083 for the financial year ended 30[th] September 2020. The Charity will continue providing Covid-19 pandemic support services in the year ending 30[th] September 2021. This means that financial support will be required to keep the current structure and financial allocation has been made to ensure the level of service can be maintained. The trustees worked closely with the management team to monitor income and expenditure to ensure that the charity remained solvent. **Income = £437,432 Expenses = £399,350 Surplus = £38,083** |**Source of Income**|**Year 2020**|**Year 2019**|**Variance**| |---|---|---|---| |Out and About|40,532|99,895|(59,363)| |Shopmobility|1,672|3,104|(1,432)| |Shoppers Helper|200|270|(70)| |Extended Services|300,088|269,702|30,386| |Covid19 Support Services|16,467|-|16,467| |Donations received|78,372|44,432|33,940| |Investment Income|101|74|27| The overall surplus is mainly to the increase on income from other services and the increase of donations received. The charity was able to secure several contracts with SBC at current market rates that are sustainable for a period of three years. There was a donation from CATSS for a value of £17,000. Out and About (Dial-a-Ride) income decreased during the year, mainly due to the reduction of funding from the SPACE consortium. Despite the reduction, this activity has continued to provide groups travelling and of passengers travelling using their Personalised budget allowance. The income reflected in the accounts is for the period of 1[st] October to 20[th] March 2020. Dial a Ride services were suspended in response to the world wide Covid-19 pandemic and UK Government instructions for people to stay at home. ShopMobility income has declined during the year. This service is partly funded by funding from SPACE (£1,672) and the charitable reserves. This service closed in March 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Shoppers Helper carried on as a service (despite the cessation of the SBC Grant in 2016). The impact to the members was a higher charge to support the higher cost to the Charity. Extended Services – when the Covid-19 global pandemic was announced the Government issued a Public Note of commitment to keep companies going after the pandemic. This means that existing contracts were paid and our staff was paid fully. 9 | P a g e ## **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** |**Expenses**|**Year 2020**|**Year 2019**|**Variance**| |---|---|---|---| |Out and About|39,011|115,284|(76,273)| |Shopmobility|7,033|10,906|(3,873)| |Shoppers Helper|514|427|87| |Extended Services|150,073|246,914|(96,841)| |Covid19 Support Services|194,727|-|194,727| |Governance|7,992|22,486|(14,494)| The expenses for the year increased as the Charity had unforeseen high value expenditure items, mainly PPE to keep our staff and passengers safe during the global pandemic. Transport was adapted during the pandemic to take Key workers’ children to school. The main activities are funded by way of restricted and unrestricted funds. If the restricted income received for the year is less than the cost generated by the related activities, then the charity transfers unrestricted funds to cover the excess. The Out and About (Dial a Ride) service is key for the provision of transport to the local community. This service was funded by the SPACE consortium (£13,929) and the membership fees and fares (£26,603). The ShopMobility service (£10,906) was partly funded by the Charity from the charitable reserves (£7,802), the members’ fares (£729), donations received from the SPACE consortium (£1,500) and other donations (£1,000). The Shoppers Helper service was funded by the members’ fees (£200). This service is only available when there is a request from a member and partly subsided by the charity. Extended Services have generated a surplus that has been utilised for funding other charitable activities and increasing the charities reserves in order to sustain the increase of expenses in the next two years (e.g. Employer NIC, Pensions, others). ## **Reserves Policy** The Board has maintained its policy that in order to operate efficiently and ensure continuity of ongoing activities of the charitable company that there should be free reserves equivalent to three months’ expenditure. 10 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** |**RESERVES POLICY**|| |---|---| |Total Expenses (based on SOFA yearly expenses)|399,350| |Monthly Expenses Estimate (based on SOFA yearly expenses)|33,279| |**3 months' Expenses (based on SOFA yearly expenses)**|**99,837**| |**Unrestricted Reserves**|265,092| |**Unrestricted Reserves Freely Available**|**202,230**| |**Unrestricted Reserves Freely Available (outside the 3 months policy)**|**102,393**| The Unrestricted Reserves at 30[th] September 2020 amounted to £265,092 of which, £202,230 are freely available, which is higher than our three-month expenditure reserve which is approximately £102,393. Any reserves above this 3-month expenditure reserve will be utilised by the Charity to help provide a better service for its beneficiaries. This could include such things as renewing old fleet vehicles, scooters/wheelchairs and accessing new technology. During the year ended 30[th] September 2020 the reserves above the 3-month expenditure were utilised to carry on providing the existing services to all its passengers. The level of free reserves is reviewed on an ongoing basis. ## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** Our plans for the future are as follows: The primary aim for 2020/21 is to continue to meet the needs of those members of our community who are unable to get ‘Out and About’ without our assistance. For the year ending 30[th] September 2021, the trustees will be considering the following factors when evaluating how to provide the existing charitable activities: - Dial a Ride – there is a need to generate additional funding (Donations, other Funding and member fares. The funding from the SPACE has ceased in 2020. This funding impacts the number of slots available to our members as we no longer can sustain the same level of service (6 days per week, 8:30 to 17:30 and utilising the existing fleet of 16 vehicles) without additional income resources. The funding also needs to contribute towards the fixed costs of running the charity. The charity will be engaging in conversations with SBC and looking for partnerships to continue with the provision of this service at a subsided rate to the members of the community. - ShopMobility – to ensure that this project can be successfully run there is a need for additional funding via Donations and member fares. As of the time of writing this report there is no specific funding confirmed and readily available towards this service. - Shoppers Helper – this service works on ad-hoc basics and there is a need for additional funding to keep it running. - External services must run at an annualised break-even point. As of the time of writing, all external services have been renegotiated from September 2018 and it is expected that the charity will carry on with the provision of this transport until the next contract renewal (minimum 3 years). Should contracts be rolled over because of timing constraints, it is expected that the fees would be reviewed in line with inflation rates. - Covid-19 response – the charity will continue providing community support services while there is a need for it from the Slough and surrounding areas. As of the time of writing, the charity has received funding from SPACE and is utilising the surplus generated in the year ended September 2020 to fund the Covid-19 response services. |**Covid-19 Response**

The Company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objectives and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. ## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees (Directors)** Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the Trustees are elected to serve for a three-year period after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. The Trustees are supported in their work by the Management Team, which seeks to ensure that the needs of the organisation are appropriately reflected to the Board. In the event of a particular skill being required by the organisation, which is not available within the existing Board, then individuals are approached to offer themselves for election. ## **Trustee Induction and Training** Most Trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the Charity by either being a member of it or belonging to an organisation which works quite closely with the Charity. New Trustees are encouraged to spend time with the Chief Executive to familiarise themselves with the work of the Charity and also to attend Governance training. The Board meets every 6-8 weeks and receives reports from the Chief Executive regarding progress towards strategic goals, and operational demands. The Finance Committee also meets every 6-8 weeks and receives financial reports from the Finance Officer. The Finance Committee reports, to the Board via the Chief Executive and the Finance Director. The Board meetings and Finance Committee meetings ensure an involved approach to the decision making process. ## **Organisational Structure** Slough Community Transport & ShopMobility has a Board of Directors which is comprised of 7 individuals who meet every six to eight weeks and are responsible for strategic direction and also the policies of the Charity. The Chief Executive also attends these meetings but has no voting rights. A scheme of delegation is in place and the day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services rests with the Chief Executive along with the Co-ordinator and Finance Administrator. The Chief Executive is responsible for ensuring that the Charity delivers the specified services and that key performance indicators are met. 12 | P a g e ## **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** To enable the organisation to undertake the above aims it has established the following structure and staffing: The volunteer element within the organisation is an essential part of the structure, as they are present at virtually every point in the organisation, from trustees and members of the Board to helping to deliver the frontline services and raise funds for the organisation. The time donated by volunteers, from very varied backgrounds, is invaluable as it helps the organisation to have good community input into decision making and to quickly identify any changes to services that may be required. ## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** The trustees (who are also directors of Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility 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 13 | P a g e Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020 flnancial statements comply wilh the Companies Act 2006.

Company registration number,. 04624397 171 Page **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** ## **1 Summary of significant accounting policies** ## **(a) General information and basis of preparation** Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility is a limited company registered in England and Wales. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 3 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are the provision of a community transport and Shopmobility services for such of the inhabitants of Slough and its neighbourhood who are in need of such services because of age, sickness or disability, or poverty or because of a lack of availability of adequate and safe public passenger services. This is met by the provision of a transport service and the short-term loan of wheelchairs and scooters. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. ## **(b) Funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity 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 charity for particular purposes. The cost 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. ## **(c) Income recognition** All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the 18 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example, the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure. Joint Venture Income from the interest in Thames Valley Operators is recognised as a Donation. The charity receives government donations (vehicles) in respect of £Nil (2019 - £Nil). Donated vehicles are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example, the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report. Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits, then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure. Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. The charity receives government grants (charitable activities) in respect of £Nil (2019 - £Nil). Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established. ## **(d) Expenditure recognition** All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of a support nature necessary to support them. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs lined to the strategic management of the charity. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis, e.g. floor area, staff time, etc. The analysis of these costs is included in notes 5, 6, 7 and 8. 19 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** ## **(e) Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: Scooters and Wheelchairs: 20% per annum reducing balance Fixtures and Fittings: 15% per annum reducing balance Motor Vehicles: 20% per annum reducing balance Computer Equipment: 25% per annum on a straight-line basis ## **(f) Investments** Investments in joint ventures are measured at cost less impairment. ## **(g) Stocks** Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate. ## **(h) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year** Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure ## **(i) Impairment** Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset’s cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. ## ( **j) Employee benefits** When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. ## **(k) Tax** The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. ## **(l) Going concern** The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. A significant contract from which the charity derives a large proportion of their income was renewed for further three years in September 2018. It is expected that this contract will be rolled over for one year due to the current global pandemic and the constrains around procurement services. 20 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** ## **(m) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements: Depreciation – This is an area for judgement and is based on the directors’ assessment of the likely useful economic lives of the asset. 21 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** **2 Income from donations and legacies** ||**Unrestricted**|**Restricted**|**Total 2020**|**2019**| |---|---|---|---|---| ||**£**|**£**|**£**|**£**| |Donations|-|-|-|140| |Donated Services and Facilities|||-|-| |- Parking Space|-|-|-|18,625| |- Office facility|8,352|-|8,352|3,600| |- Accounts software/services|2,342|-|2,342|144| |CATSS|17,000|-|17,000|14,668| |Rotary Club|-|6,000|6,000|1,000| |Staff activities|-|-|-|1,556| |Heathrow Community Fund|-|-|-|1,099| |Louis Baylis|-|-|-|1,000| |Slough Cribbage|-|-|-|600| |Tesco Fundraising|500|-|500|2,000| |5G Comms|250||250|-| |WHSmith|200|-|200|-| |Covid-19 Response Funding||||| |- Members Donations|-|528|528|-| |- SCVS|-|500|500|-| |- Berskhire Garden Centre|-|500|500|-| |- Shanly Foundation|-|3,000|3,000|-| |- Bershire Community Foundation|-|5,000|5,000|-| |- The Edward Gosling Foundation||6,000|6,000|-| |- Kingsways's Over 60s||500|500|-| |- St Mary's church||300|300|-| |- Charity Aid Foundation||3,000|3,000|-| |- National Lottery||9,000|9,000|-| |- The Clothworkers Foundation||400|400|-| |- SCVS One Slough Community Respons|-|15,000|15,000|-| ||**28,644**|**49,728**|**78,372**|**44,432**| In the year ended 30 September 2020, the Income from donations and legacies was £78,372 (2019 - £26,564) of which £49,728 (2019 - £3,975) was attributable to Restricted funds and £28,644 (2019 - £22,589) was attributable to Unrestricted funds. 22 | P a g e **Slough Community Transport & Shopmobility Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2020** ## **3 Income from charitable activities** |SPACE consortium
