Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
To provide a community transport service for such of the inhabitants of Ilkley, Addingham, Burley-In-Wharfedale and Menston 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.
The charity's main activities
Ilkley Community Transport provides transport for disadvantaged residents throughout our locality. We also assist voluntary and community organisations, charities and local authorities by providing the accessible transport and driver training necessary to achieve their own objectives.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
John Jewitt
Very sadly in August 2022 we lost John. He was one of the founders of the charity and a long term and active trustee. His legacy will live on the organisation.
Achievements and performance
The pandemic largely prevented any activity before July so there were effectively nine months of operation in the year. This followed a year with very little activity which is reflected in the prior year comparisons in the accounts. At the end of June our new coordinator, David Steel was appointed, and he has established himself effectively in managing the office operations and keeping the buses safe and legal to use, as well as helping with the driving.
We continue to operate 3 minibuses and a community car lift scheme. During the year we completed over 200 bus hires for 29 groups with 115 of the passengers using the lift. The buses covered nearly 8,000 miles during the year, supporting a range of local organisations enabling a regular supermarket run and a wide variety of social, cultural and sporting activities for young and old alike.
We provided 70 car lifts mainly for medical appointments, including Covid vaccinations in the early part of the year.
We are most grateful to the following organisations for financial support provided during the year:
National lottery community fund - Support to staff and office costs Ilkley Town Council - Support to staff and office costs Bradford Council - ARG Coronavirus recovery fund
The Trustees would like to thank not only our own volunteers but also the Community Action Ilkley co-ordinator Mary Hamilton and all the office volunteers for their unstinting efforts throughout the year. We would like to emphasise to them that by helping us to operate, they are also helping many other voluntary and community groups to achieve their aims.
Financial review
The net expenditure for the year was £9,391, including net expenditure of £24,102 on unrestricted funds and net income of £14,711 on restricted funds.

Ilkley & District Good Neighbours Community Transport Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
Reserves policy
The trustees believe there is no need to set aside specific reserves within the annual report and accounts. All potential liabilities would be adequately covered by available funds. The only unbudgeted liabilities would be major repairs to one or more of the buses. In the event that sufficient funds were not readily available to cover a repair, the trustees would have the option of disposing of one vehicle either to avoid the repair cost or to provide funds to repair another bus.
The trustees are of the opinion that the value of the fixed assets of the charity, namely the minibuses, should be considered as unrestricted funds. This is because they are held for use by the charity to achieve its charitable objectives.
In the event that unrestricted funds increase to a level that is more than adequate to cover any potential bus repairs and other budgeted liabilities, the trustees will consider deeming a proportion to a reserve for a future bus purchase, given the significant cost of such vehicles.
The trustees will review the adequacy of the unrestricted funds at least once a year, and prior to any major expenditure on vehicle repairs, these reviews to be documented and held with the trustee minutes.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £37,010.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ilkley & District Good Neighbours Community Transport
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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:
-
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.

Notes to the accounts
for the year ended 31 March 2022
1 Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
Going concern
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Expenditure and liabilities
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Taxation
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Minibuses: over 8 years
Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
