Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st January 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st January 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2015).
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
Objectives and aims
Provide a community transport service for the residents of Llŷn community who are in need of such a service due to age, illness or disability (mental or physical), or poverty, or due to lack of availability of adequate and safe services for passengers.
In providing its service, the aim of O Ddrws i Ddrws is to tackle issues of loneliness, isolation, transport poverty, lack of access to services and to improve health.
Public Benefit
The main aim is to enable people to attend hospital appointments, provide transport for community groups and volunteers and provide transport to and from rural villages in the area for visitors and residents who wouldn’t be able to travel between these villages otherwise.
Achievements and performance
Covid 19
The first case of Covid-19 was announced in Wales at the end of February 2020 and strict restrictions were put in place at midnight on March 23rd. This had a catastrophic impact on O Ddrws i Ddrws’ service as no-one was allowed to travel and therefore there was no demand for the service. The service closed from the end of March until the middle of September, the Coastal Bus service wasn’t provided in 2020 and although O Ddrws i Ddrws’ service picked up again in September, there wasn’t much demand for the rest of the year.
Charitable activities
During this financial year, 1/2/2020 to 31/1/21 a total of 1,743 passengers were transported (6,364 last year) including 212 (1,865 last year) by volunteers in their own cars.
Users
There was no review of our service users during this year mainly due to the service not being active for six months of the year but it was assumed the number of people who had used our service was similar, in terms of demographics, to our users historically; therefore: the elderly, disabled or vulnerable and we have been taking and collecting people from their work.
The Area
The area serviced is Llŷn, from Llanystumdwy to Trefor and over to Aberdaron. The service is offered to residents who have appointments beyond the area to be transported from their home to the appointment and back. For example, to Allt Wen, Ysbyty Gwynedd, Ysbyty Bodelwyddan and even Liverpool and Manchester.
The service
Providing the service of O Ddrws i Ddrws are 3 members of full-time staff:
Co-ordinator – who fulfils the majority of day-to-day work
Driver – the first choice for every journey
Project Manager– to develop the business and ensure financial health
As well as three on demand drivers. We used one volunteer during February and the beginning of March.
The service uses 3 minibuses, one MPV and one car adapted to transport wheelchair users and an electric car was added at the end of October. One or more of the vehicles will be sold next year.

Developments
The Project Manager joined the company in February 2020 initially on a freelance basis. Through the Rural Development Programme an electric car was obtained, Nissan eNV200 that we received in October. The second half of the Co-operation and Supply Chain Development Scheme was developed that will bring a new electric car and electric minibus to the company’s ownership next year. Other than developing security systems and risks assessments for operating under Covid-19 restrictions, there were no other big developments during the year.
Partnership working
O Ddrws i Ddrws worked together with Yr Orsaf in Penygroes a Partneriaeth Ogwen in Bethesda on different aspects of the second part of the application for the Co-operation and Supply Chain Development Scheme by sharing pieces of work that were similar to the three applications.
Future Developments
The Co-operation and Supply Chain Development Scheme will bring two new electric vehicles to the company – one, the electric car will be a new self-drive service that will enhance the provision of community transport in Llŷn by being available to everyone, generating a small income for the company and reducing costs. The electric minibus will reduce service provision costs for O Ddrws i Ddrws.
A scheme through the Lottery’s People and Places grant – Lôn At Les will begin in the Autumn term next year with the main aim to reduce loneliness and anxiety amongst residents who have been isolating due to Covid-19 restrictions but also to identify and recruit users and volunteers for O Ddrws i Ddrws.
Llŷn Coastal Bus service will be run as a flexi service during the Summer of 2021 in order to link the villages and communities of Llŷn with one another.
Strengthening and re-establishing
Covid-19 and the restrictions put in place have been catastrophic to the business and activity of O Ddrws i Ddrws and has significantly reduced its contingency fund. The company is required to strengthen its financial situation and strengthen its contingency fund in line with the company’s Contingency Fund policy.
In addition, as the Country and area are released from Covid-19 restrictions the need for the company’s service will need to increase as well as the company’s capacity to meet that demand. Promoting the service, increasing the need and recruiting volunteers will go hand in hand with this.
Sources of Income
An organization such as O Ddrws i Ddrws has four sources of income: trade, donations, grants and contracts

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st January 2021
Reserves Policy
In order to ensure the continuation of services if any financial problems arose, the Board of O Ddrws i Ddrws has agreed to maintain a certain level of contingency funds to ensure the continuation of the services’ main activities for a period of three months. The Board’s main concerns are to ensure that:
-
members of staff can continue working, mainly to maintain Finance
-
members / service users are supported in being referred to other Services
-
the vehicles are always securely maintained for use on the roads through regular servicing and inspection
The contingency fund policy is reviewed annually and whenever there are significant changes to staff hours or staff numbers.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charity is managed by its governing document, memorandum and social articles, and is a company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006

Risk management

Governance risks- Trustees take their roles seriously and aim to run the organisation as effectively as possible.
