TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the group and the company, Waverley Hoppa Community Transport (the company) for the year ended 31 March 2023. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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 2019). The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Since the group and the company qualify as small under section 383 of the Companies Act 2006, the Group Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit.
Policies and objectives are defined by the Memorandum of Association as refined by the advice of experts and approved by the Board.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
Strategies for achieving objectives are defined by an annual budget prepared by the General Manager and Board, presented to the local authority and distributed to appropriate parties.
c. Activities for achieving objectives
Activities for achieving objectives are the provision of subsidised transport services in the locality of Waverley Borough and limited commercial services to support the primary activities.
d. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for public benefit
The organisation’s core activities are the provision of dial-a-ride transport within Waverley Borough to anyone unable to utilise public services by reason of age, disability or remoteness.
The Trustees have given full regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and are confident that, while our customers clearly benefit from transportation, there is a benefit to the wider public in terms of addressing rural isolation, and promoting the wellbeing and social inclusion of our customers.
e. Volunteers
The company is managed by unpaid Board members, a small professional management team and a staff of employed drivers.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Achievements and performance
a. Key financial performance indicators
The Trustees use two main financial indicators – the proportion of grant funding to total income, and net income or expenditure generated.
Grant funding in the year represented 24% of income (2022: 24%). The Trustees continue to pursue their strategy of contracting commercial routes – to Schools, Day Centres and local Hospitals – to subsidise the core dial-a-ride operation. In this way we have historically been able to minimise the need for increased public funding to maintain our objectives.
In the year to 31 March 2023 the organisation reported net income of £46k (2022: £52k net expenditure).
b. Review of activities
In the period of review the organisation continued to provide transport services within the ambit of the operations described in its original Business Plan.
At the end of the year Hoppa reported a surplus of £265k (2022: £36k). This result is mainly due to an improvement in the SCC local government pension scheme of £219k. Day to day operations remained stable and generated net income of £46k.
The organisation’s core activities are the provision of demand responsive transport within Waverley Borough, mainly assisting those with disabilities and the elderly who are unable to utilise public services by reason of remoteness or access difficulties. These priority services assist in reducing social exclusion among the disadvantaged and in the year some 14,541 passenger trips were made (2022: 13,411). This is still below 2020 levels but shows the recovery post-Covid is continuing.
Other community support services covers school runs – mainly Special Educational Needs – as well as several health-related transport contracts. A total of 44,269 passenger trips were made in this service category during the year (2022: 41,689).
c. Investment policy and performance
There is no policy to invest in assets other than the premises and vehicles utilised for delivering the services.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
b. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Trustees have identified two main financial risks – loss of grant funding, and the inability to fund replacement of our key capital asset, the vehicles themselves.
In terms of grant funding the largest single amount comes from Waverley Borough Council. Hoppa are in the first year of a new three year Service Level Agreement with Waverley; this agreement provides certainty of income in exchange for quarterly performance reviews. Both parties have found this arrangement to be very beneficial and it was extended for 2022-23, but with lower grant levels. Other grants are received from other County, Town and Parish Councils. Hoppa minimise risk to these grants by maintaining regular contact with all these stakeholders, updating them on our operational and financial situation.
Hoppa operate twenty seven vehicles, mostly minibuses with wheelchair access. There is a Board target to maintain an average vehicle life of between five and six years, with no vehicle being older than twelve years. This gives rise to a capital requirement of over £100k every year to replace older vehicles; the funding for this needs to be provided from net income, capital grants or other fundraising. In terms of risk the Trustees have considered options of debt financing, as well as maintaining vehicles for longer, albeit likely to incur greater repair costs.
c. Financial Results
At the balance sheet date unrestricted funds of £372,697 (2022: £107,106) and restricted funds of £167,051 (2022: £167,432) were held.
d. Reserves policy
There is a monthly review of likely operating expenses and income, grants, donations and requirements for replacing vehicles, all to ensure the ability to continue providing services throughout a forthcoming period of at least 6 months
e. Deficit
In the year to 31 March 2023 Hoppa has reported a surplus of £46k (2022: deficit £52k) before actuarial gains. The Trustees approve an annual budget with a target of generating net income before depreciation, to be used for capital funding. This remains the target for the financial year ending March 2024.
f. Principal Funding
Local authority and government grants, and donations from parish councils and charitable institutions comprise 24% of funding (2021: 24%), the balance being generated by operating income. The reliance on grant funding continues to reduce as a result of a deliberate strategy by the Trustees.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The company is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 9 December 2003.
The charity was formed in succession to Waverley Community Transport and assumed all that company's assets and liabilities with effect from 31 March 2004.
The principal object of the company is to provide relief to the inhabitants of the Borough of Waverley in Surrey whose access to transport is affected by age, mental or physical disability, poverty or rural isolation, and in particular to provide and maintain non-profit community transport services and to assist the charitable work of organisations and bodies engaged in promoting relief of such persons through the provision of appropriate services.
The objectives have not been amended during the year.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
All Trustees receive explanatory documentation from Companies House and the Charities Commission and an introductory briefing with the Chairman, Operating Director and General Manager and attend a full Board meeting as an observer before appointment. Subsequently each Board member receives financial results, board minutes, budgets, draft business plans and a health and safety manual.
d. Pay policy for senior staff
The General Manager is the senior member of staff and a key employee. The Trustees policy is to ensure that this employee is remunerated on a par with commercial enterprises, and use a combination of salary and performance bonus to achieve this.
e. Organisational structure and decision making
The Chairman, Operating Director, General Manager and Board meet monthly and are advised quarterly by local authority Councilors and experts. Limits of decision making authority are defined by reference to magnitude and banking mandates by Board authority.
f. Related party relationships
The Trustees and senior staff make a declaration each year concerning related parties. There were no transactions with related parties during the year, other than as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Plans for future periods
In a climate of financial challenge for our local authorities, who are our key sponsors, Hoppa continues to subsidise its core services by bidding for, and winning, contracts to provide community transport routes wherever they fit within the operational criteria.
Members' liability
The Members of the company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the company in the event of winding up.
Small Company Provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the company and of their incoming resources and application of resources, including their income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 Group will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group and the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and the 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 Group and the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WAVERLEY HOPPA COMMUNITY TRANSPORT
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Waverley Hoppa Community Transport (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WAVERLEY HOPPA COMMUNITY TRANSPORT (CONTINUED)
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Group and parent charitable company and the industry in which they operate, and considered the risk of acts by the Group and parent charitable company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and UK tax legislation.
Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the Trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's Report.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Waverley Hoppa Community Transport meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Consolidated Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Financial Activities in these financial statements.
2.2 Going concern
The company reported a surplus for the year of £46k before actuarial gains.
The Trustees believe that their growth strategies – particularly in providing transport services for the NHS - will ensure that the company continues to be a going concern at present. However they also acknowledge that there are longer term issues that will have an impact, including: financial pressures on local council funding; the requirement to refresh the ageing fleet of vehicles; the aim to introduce electric vehicles to this fleet, at a much higher initial cost; and the continued uncertainties caused by Covid.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Incoming resources from charitable activities are recognised when the service has been provided.
Grants are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All costs are charged to restricted or unrestricted expenses based on mileage.
2.5 Taxation
The company is considered to meet the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives,
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
- Leasehold property 50 years straight line Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance - Fittings and equipment 50% straight line and 25% reducing balance
2.7 Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.8 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.10 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.11 Financial instruments
The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.12 Finance leases and hire purchase
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the Group. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
2.13 Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.14 Pensions
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year.
The Group operates a defined benefits pension scheme and the pension charge is based on a full actuarial valuation dated 31 March 2023.
The liability recognised on the balance sheet in respect of the defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting date less the fair value of the plan assets at the reporting date.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method. Annually the company engages independent actuaries to calculate the obligation. The present value is determined by discounting the estimated future payments using market yields on high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in sterling and that have terms approximating the estimated period of future payments.
The fair value of plan assets is measured in accordance with the FRS 102 fair value hierarchy.
2.15 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs 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.
2.16 Group VAT registration
The company is part of a group VAT registration with Hoppa Limited. Waverley Hoppa Community Transport is the nominated company, responsible for submitting the returns and for making the payments on behalf of the companies in the group VAT registration.
