**BEXHILL COMMUNITY BUS LIMITED** 

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2022. 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 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

To provide a community transport service for such of inhabitants of Bexhill and its neighbourhood who are in need of such a service 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. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have had due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission, and in their opinion the report on the achievements and performance demonstrates that they have complied therewith. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

In 2021 the company investigated alternative routes and carried out a substantial number of timing runs. In May 2022 the new routes were implemented following extensive liaison with East Sussex County Council and approval from the Traffic Commissioners.At the same time adult single fares were increased to £1.20, the first increase since 2015.The new routes have proved very popular with passengers and the company has received some very complimentary feedback. 

In August the company implemented electronic ticketing and - despite some initial teething problems - this has brought a number of positives for the company including the displaying of our services on the electronic bus signs and a large amount of data on route and bus stop usage. 

Passenger numbers again showed an upturn with 28,206 passengers carried representing a 17% increase on 2021 (24,068 passengers).Passenger numbers however have not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels and are still nearly 28% below those of 2019 (39,005 passengers). 

Whilst expenditure was up by around 23%, income was also up by around 13% (both after stripping out extraordinary items) and the company received some welcome donations.The company's finances remain healthy - partly due to the maintenance of the reimbursement for concessionary passes at pre-COVID levels by the authorities.However, the reimbursement for concessionary passes reverts to payment against actual passenger numbers from April 2023 so the company will continue to look to attract new passengers. 

Whilst volunteer numbers remain consistent the company will be looking to recruit further volunteers in 2023 to increase flexibility.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Thanks to the continued support of East Sussex County Council the total fare receipts have increased by a small amount despite the passenger numbers remaining below pre-pandemic levels. Overall income had increased due mainly to a legacy of £3,000 and grants from East Sussex County Council totalling £4,737 towards the cost of the two new electronic ticket machines, driver training and printing timetables. 

The costs of running, maintaining, taxing and insuring the vehicles has increased mainly due to the increase in the price of fuel. 

The overall deficit before the unrealised loss on the shares was £9,393 which was an improvement to the 2021 deficit of £16,172. 

The charity was able to increase its investments during the year with a view to generating both additional income and capital growth by purchasing additional shares with its spare funds. However the value of the shares at the year end had reduced considerably and there was an unrealised loss of £25,659. 

The overall deficit for the year was £35,052 which is deducted from the general fund to give a balance of £290,191 to carry forward to next year. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

Spare capital has been invested to produce investment income in a safe environment and the portfolio is managed by Handelsbanken Wealth & Asset Management, the Charity's stockbrokers. Income generated is currently being added to the capital in order to provide Capital growth towards the cost of new buses in the future. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Charity will retain sufficient reserves to enable it to deal with the timely replacement of buses and other working assets in line with its regular replacement policy. Reserves are invested in LF Hb Cautious Multi Asset Fund B Accumulation Shares. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Plans for future periods 

In 2023, the Company aims to: 

- continue to seek and train more volunteers, 

- conduct at least one passenger survey, 

- enable fare-paying passengers to pay by debit card and 

- look for further sources of funding 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BEXHILL COMMUNITY BUS LIMITED** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Bexhill Community Bus Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2022. 

## **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 Companies 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 charity'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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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 

4. 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.
