## **SHENCARE COMMUNITY TRANSPORT** ## **ANNUAL REPORT April 2021/ March 2022** **Registered Charity No 109919 Registered Company No 04256086** _Shencare Community Transport has been providing safe, accessible, affordable transport for 36 years specifically for people who are elderly and/ or suffering with mobility problems_ **.** ## **- About Shencare An Integral part of the Community** Shencare Community Transport aims to improve people’s quality of life by reducing inequality and enabling access in our local communities. We are dedicated to high safety standards in transport provision. Shencare is a not-for-profit organisation that provides innovative, flexible and demand responsive transport solutions to the needs of groups and organisations. Shencare has a reputation built upon a 36-year track record with an accumulation of knowledge and expertise in community transport, thereby ensuring service users’ benefit from a bespoke facility that enables them to take part in community and social activities. We are the original community transport provider in South- West Birmingham and aim to lead and diversify our activities into new markets by providing new and innovative services. Shencare was originally formed in 1987 and was incorporated as a Limited Company on 20[th] July 2001. The initial aim was to provide efficient, lowcost accessible transport services to small and emerging community organisations. Once again, the year has been really challenging for reasons set out in the Operation’s Manager’s report. 2 Shenca'i,, Sheniore Shencare's Peo le Shencaie (ommunily Iransport : **Management Committee** (Directors & Trustees) Hon.

In that respect I can recall that at the height of the pandemic she broadcast to the Nation telling us that we should “get through it!”. How right she was. We may not have finished our experience with COVID, but we are definitely working with new vigour. As well as this observation, it is important to stress our respect and admiration for our new King, Charles III. May God save him, and his mother’s great legacy. Nearer to home, I can report on the successful completion of our meetings this year, in this kindly arranged meeting place, at The Weoley Castle Community Church. They have been most generous with their facilities, and for that we are extremely grateful. I must, of course, record my admiration for all the staff in recognition of their hard work and initiative. Shencare is at a higher level in all respects than it has ever been. The age of the fleet will soon be at its lowest, and the funds at their highest. This is no mean feat. It shows the guiding direction of Business Manager Chris Busst, and the direction he has led the organisation. Praise must also go to Paul Lakin for the immediate recovery and extension of the operation under such trying circumstances. I note their contribution, but it needs to be said how important they are to ongoing success of this great Charity. I shall also take this opportunity to thank our stakeholders: the City Council, and the Education Transport Section who have inspected us and found nothing but praise. I should like to thank our customers. They may think that they are purely statistics in our climbing results, but each one of them is as important to our drivers as a member of their family. Paul can tell us all about the thanks we receive, and that in turn leads to an evergrowing reputation, and a predictable expansion in our service. Thanks again goes to our partners in Birmingham Focus, and as a reminder that it was many years ago that I was required to abseil down the Warley building as a means of raising funds for them. I could not do it now… We exist to help the vulnerable and challenged. Their mobility is our aim - to help the them achieve a measure of independence. We are a unit of the “third sector” that is needed to supplement the opportunities other sectors cannot. I like also to thank all members of the board for their support and encouragement. They have contributed in their different skills to the smooth running of the Executive. Each of them has taken the opportunity to keep in touch regularly, adding their helpful suggestions. I have therefore to report that it has been a pleasure to complete my sixth, but last, year as Chairman. Now that I am based in North Wales, I feel that I must hand over to a more “Local”, but in fact more “capable” replacement – John Orchard. I hope that I may still have an input into the Organisation. I wish it well, knowing the great team that exists here - it is the finest Charity with which I have ever been associated Hon. Ald. Peter Douglas Osborn. ## **Operations Manager’s Report** ## **AGM 29th September 2022** I am pleased to make my report, to the charity’s Annual General Meeting on our performance to the end of March 2022. As you are all aware the last 3 years have been a difficult and worrying time for all, going back to the fire in 2019 and then straight into the Pandemic the following year. But we continued to operate and with a lot of hard work and a year (2021-2022) of rebuilding now find ourselves in a very strong position and are looking ahead for a bright future. I must pay tribute to all the workforce who have made this possible and in the true spirit of Shencare have excelled in their roles helping maintain and re-establish the service to our transport users. My sincere thanks go to Geoff Pell, and each of our members of staff. Without whose help and dedication have made this possible, it’s been said before but it really is a team effort. My sincere thanks go to Hon. Ald. Peter Douglas Osborn for his support in the role of Chair and the Trustees, Coopted and Management Committee for their guidance and assistance. Also, to Chris Busst for his continued support and hard work throughout the year which has resulted in Shencare being in such a strong position as I am sure he will explain in his report. My sincere thanks are extended to all of the Local Government Officers, Health Professionals, Volunteer Organisers and member groups that have worked with us to ensure that the service that we provide is appropriate to the very varied needs of our client base. As always, the role that Shencare plays in transporting vulnerable people to venues at which they can benefit from community services cannot be overstated. The success of Shencare’s partnerships is evidenced in the 17,744 passenger journeys that we operated during the year. Patronage is growing on a daily basis with more day centres, and clubs together with individuals enquiring about transport. I ask you to note that each single journey enabled a vulnerable person to get out of their house and benefit from social interaction with other people and its well-recognised positive impact on health and wellbeing. In addition to our service level agreements with our regular users, a further 201 group trips were also booked and we are again becoming popular for day trips and school outings. The 14-vehicle fleet covered a total 148,383 kilometres or 92,203 miles. I have not compared these figures to the previous year as due to the pandemic there was little Community work operating but these figures are our new starting point to compare with future years. We are successfully operating our school contracts and adult services for Birmingham City Council and also our service level agreements with other Third Sector organisations. Our strength is in our partnerships with our third sector colleagues and being an integral part of the community in South-West Birmingham. We continue to be also successful with the operation of the Hagley Community shopper’s bus. Shencare remains committed to playing its part in any initiatives for a coordinated approach to working in true partnership with colleagues from other transport providers to ensure that all special needs transport is met. Bus Service Operator’s Grant enables operators to reclaim the tax that it pays on its fuel. The charity continues to benefit from receiving this rebate on fuel tax duty. At the end of March 2022, the vehicle fleet consisted of 10 wheelchair accessible minibuses and 3 standard minibuses and one wheelchair accessible car. We have continued to provide the Midas Minibus Driver Training scheme and this additional source of income has been extremely useful and time effective. Therefore, in addition to Shencare providing bespoke transport services, we contribute to the wider field of road safety. ## **Paul Lakin** Operations Manager ## **SECRETARY’S REPORT** **NEW OPERATING MODEL:** Recovery from Covid had been the driving factor throughout 2021/22. We have devised a new operating model in order to firstly, survive and secondly, to prosper. We had to rely on our contract with Birmingham City Council to bring in sufficient funds to satisfy our charitable aims and objectives. **OLD FRIENDS:** We welcomed back old friends and community partners, although a few did not survive the pandemic and have not re-opened. **NEW SHOOTS:** However, some new groups emerged post pandemic filling gaps that they had identified and we are delighted that they chose Shencare to be their transport provider for their vulnerable clients. **NEW FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES:** We identified potential grant funding during the year and we were successful in gaining £10,000 from the Neighbourhood Network Scheme for Northfield. This enabled Shencare to provide transport facilities for vulnerable citizens to attend health appointments, social gatherings and opportunities for reducing loneliness. Very importantly it provided a window of respite for carers, an area that is so often overlooked. **FINANCE:** The annual finance report is attached to this Annual Report. **Companies house return:** The annual returns to Companies were all made on time. **Charity commission returns:** The annual return to the Charity Commission was made on time. **Insurance renewal:** All insurance policies were renewed at 27[th] April 2021. I am delighted that we have survived and we are operating to a new “operating model” that ensures best use of our resources. We look forward to welcoming back our Third Sector partners, old and new, once they themselves are back. 2021/22 will see Shencare build new relationships in Edgbaston Ward and with Transport for West Midlands that will provide solutions to citizens isolation and “Tackle Loneliness with Transport”. ## Christopher Busst Business Development and Hon.

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 which gives me cause to believe that: - accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or - the accounts do not accord with such records; or - the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 Charities SORP (FRS102). 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. ## Pamma and Rakhra Associated Pamma and Rakhra Associated Limited 53 Chestnut Road Oldbury West Midlands B68 0AY Date: 29 September 2022 This page does not form part of the statutory financial statements Page 9 ## **SHENCARE COMMUNITY TRANSPORT A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** ## **DETAILED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** |**Turnover**
