Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We have worked closely with WECA (West of England Combined Authority) and the transport officers to develop our delivery of transport to the end users who are the most important factors.

We have increased transport in Shirehampton area where there has been a large uptake of transportation need. We work with SCAF (Shirehampton Community Action Forum) a local organisation and regularly provide 2 buses a week to residents for shopping and trips out.

We now also cover Horfield weekly, including Anchour housing, Aslea Court and John James housing complexes.

Social isolation is still a problem amongst the community and LWCT have developed a befriending group supporting the users with Transportation and securing separate funding to allow a weekly tea/coffee activity meetings as well as day trips.

We have maintained vehicles and monitor the demand and ensure we have vehicles fit for purpose, running costs have increased and we have been lucky to have been able to cover those costs by good management and finance decisions.

2023 has seen many changes to funding and operations due to larger operators struggling in the current financial situation. We have been in discussions with WECA to ensure our future.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The Trustees (who are Directors of Lawrence Weston Community Transport for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Board of Directors’ 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 Board of Directors 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 the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing the financial statements the Board are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The Board of Directors 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 financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Lawrence Weston Community Transport

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 September 2023 which are set out on pages 7 to 11.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
