Shelia Miller resigned after reaching her 90th birthday having served for 15 years as a
volunteer driver before being appointed as a Trustee in 2022. During this period she has
championed the service of our car scheme amongst our community and within the many
other charities she supports. In particular she has informed our local NHS services of our
activities arKd capabilities.
All Trustees form the management commtttee, gNe their time voluntarily and receNe no
benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 9 to
the accounts.

STRUCTUR4 GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Board of Trustees met regularly during the year with some joining remotely via video link
due to work commitments. This operates successfully with those in employment who
contribute their expertise in their limited free time.
We were pleased lo appoint Mark Harris as our new Chief Officer in January 2024. Mark
joined us after a successful career in the military and subsequently various business
appointmerts at Director and Chief Operating officer level.
Mark arrived at a time of turbulence following the resignation of the previous Fleet Manger
and Wheels2Work Manager. They have been successfully repla￿d by Barry Morgan and
Frank Godber but unfortunately, we have recently been informed that our Finance Manager
Kim Lees must resign on medical grounds.
Since his arrival Mark has implemented weekly management meetings, team briefings and
updated working practices and policies which have ensured improved performance allowing
staff to cover each othef s desks during sickness and holiday absenGes. There is a renewed
sense of purpose amongst all staff.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Ryedale Car Scheme provides transport, through recruibnent and support of volunteer
drivers, for people who do not have access to other means of transport. Volunteers use their
own vehicles and receive expenses of 45p per mile.
Volunteers provide the comer stone of our charity; they choose to volunteer for a variety of
reasons. For some, it offers the Chan￿ to gwe something back to the community or make a
difference to the people around them. For others it provides an opportunty to develop new
skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. Regardless of the motivation, what
unites them all is that they find it both challenging and rewarding.
The Car Scheme continues to meet more than 90¥0 of all requests for transport, although
maintaining this level can be challenging. It is proving difficult to find volunteer driver8. There
have been over 3440 individual journeys in the past 12 months completed by 637 different
scheme members. A total of over 122,000 miles.
The strategy for the Car Scheme is to continue to deliver high quality, affordable and often
essential transport for those people who need personal door-to-door support to access
health related and other personal appointments. The NHS transport Service is failing and this
is a wory for those elderly patients who need transport to get to their appointments. Over
470h of our car scheme joumeys were used for NHS Secondary Care hospital appointments
with a further 24% being used for.Primary Care doctorloptician related visits.
Our scheme which operates for residents of Ryedale has proved so successful that we have
been approached by North Yorkshire Council to run a pilot scheme in Whitby and The Coast
area. This commenced in July 2024 for NHS Secondary Care appointrnents. The medical
practices in the area, who signpost their patients to our service, are finding it a resounding
success for the local communty but its long-temi success deperKls on local volunteers
offering to drive their cars. We have forged a working relationship with other local charities
within the Whitby Alliance Group to help us but they are also seeking volunteers.
Our Fleet
Ryedale Community Transport currently operates one wheelchair accessible low-floor bus, 4
accessible minibuses, 5 regular minibuses, 6 wheelchair accessible vehicles and 2 electric
wheelchair accessible vehicle. These vehicles are available for hire with a driver or as self-
drive. There is also a W2W van used to move mopeds.

Group Travel
This provides minibus and wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) transport services at
affordable rates for voluntary organisations and community groups. An example of this is we
transport dients weekly to and from the Strong and Steady community sessions on behalf of
North yorkshi￿ Sports. The￿ have been 519 separate hires to 24 different organisations.
Individual WAV Travel
23 passengers who need to travel in their own wheelchairs have made 143 joumeys often to
Tnedical appointments but also to social occasions.
Ryedale Rover on-demand service
The Ryedale Rover on-demand trial Servi￿ is part of the evolving strategy of connecting
residents living in villages with no. or limited, k)cal bus seNices with the wider area. It is
being part funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
One of the trial services proved so popular that it has now been established as a formal bus
route by North Yorkshire Council connecting Helmsley and Malton twice weekly.
We continue to seek innovative ways in which we can help reduce rural isolation and have
continued to run our occasional shopper trips enabling our members resident in Ryedale to
visit local towns. These prove particularly successful in providing cohesion for elderly
friendship groups to meet. In the past 12 months 95 people have made 686 journeys.
The evolvement of the Ryedale Rover on-demand bus service together with the introduction
of electric vehicles have caused us to re-examine some of our working procedures and seek
further ways that the opportunity provided by the Community Fund can help reduce rural
isolation and increase community cohesion could be used.
NYC Contracts
Home to School and Special Education Needs services, as well as Scheduled Bus Routes,
provide a regular income stream for the charity.
In April we were awarded 4 Home to School contracts together with 2 Scheduled Bus Route
Contracts. They expire in April 2026 with two one-year Dptions to extend until April 2028.
These together with our 2 Home to School contracts for Special Educational Needs pupils at
Welbum Hall provide an essential contribution to overheads and enable the reSoUr￿S of
Ryedale Community Transport to be more resilient to change.
Wheels2Work (W2W)
The W2W scheme offers the short-temi hire of mopeds to those who struggle to commLrte to
their pla￿ of employment, education, or training due to the lack of any other viable means of
transport.
The fleet currently comprises 34 mopeds which are available to anyone aged 17 or over,
who live in our operating area. 6 of them are new electric mopeds which have been kindly
funded by North Yorkshire Council taking the total number of electric mopeds to 10.
We helped 37 people during the period and our new Manager remains is regular contact with
our clients. In addition to supporting them with their use and maintenance of the mopeds he
keeps a watchful eye for signs that they are having problems paying their monthly rent. In
doing so he has managed to reduce the numbers of people getting into financial difficulty
because Df their moped hire.

Electric vehicles
We were awarded a grant from North Yorkshire Council for the purchase of a new electric
vehicle and charging point. For this we are extremely grateful; it is far more efficient, has
lower running costs and we can charge on site when not in use. It has been converted to
allow for the carriage of those with limited mobility and we are examining new innovative
ways that this vehicle could be used.
RISK ANALYSIS
INhere appropriate, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the
charity faces. A Critical Incident Plan is updated annually. Internal control risks are
minimised by the implementation of prO￿dureS for authorisation of transactions and
contracts. PrO￿dureS are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety for staff,
volunteers, and customers. All procedures are reviewed annually to ensure that they
continue to meet the needs of the charty.
FUTURE STRATEGY
Ryedale Community Transport CIO is the sole community transport organisation serving the
fomer Ryedale District. As we look forward we see new opportunities to help others but also
a number of challenges to ourselves.
Opportunities
We will continue to work closely with North Yorkshire Council in support of their transport
strategy in particular sharing our expertise of managing local volunteer car schemes.
We will seek new ways to trial the use of the funding awarded by the National Lottery
Community Fund in an attempt to increase the number of people and locations who will
benefit from their grant.
We will continue to engage with NHS organisations to both infomi them of the work we do
but al80 assist them as they develop their regi¢)nal transport strategy. We will continue
prioritizing NHS appointments within our Car Scheme.
We will seek to strengthen our connections with charities that operate across North
Yorkshire in order to support them, where possible, with transport solutions for their activities
in our area.
We will continue to engage with our local community of charities through the Ryedale
Charities Together forum, continue to manage their communal bus, and provide vehicles in
support of their various charity activities.
Challenges
Our main challenges are the rising costs of staff employment, the difficulty of recruiting
volunteers and the additional workload, particularly in relation to NHS appointments. Our
Chief Officer has worked hard over the past year to redefine and restructure our staff roles
but continuty of activty with part-time staff who have holidays and periods of sickness raises
its own challenges.
Our paid drivers work on zero-hour contracts to fulfil the NYC school contracts and proposed
legislation regarding these zero-hour contracts could well change the complete operating
model for our charity. Wrth the Car Scheme we rely on volunteers using their own cars, have
no full-time paid drivers and ask our part-time drivers linked to contracts rf they can help

when a member must be transferred in their wheelchair using a WAV. This is often not
possible due to contract time requirements or driver availabilty.
The cost of mini-buses have greatly increased over recent years. We have been very
fortunate to have received funding from NYC for some of our vehicles, both diesel and
electric, but these cannot be used on NYC contracts. This year as some the of mini-buses
used on contracts age we have started to lease vehides to remain compliant with the
contract terms regarding age and mileage. The long term cost feasibility of 8uch a decision
is being monitored.
The Trustses continue to examine all our activities to ensure that they are still compliant with
current regulations, are Still fit for purpose and whether the necessary manpower is available
to complete them successfully and safely.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees consider that (unrestricted) cash reserves are required for the following
reasons:
To enable Ryedale Community Transport cio to maintain essential core functions for
P8riod of 12 months and have time to adjust in the event of a significant reduction
in anticipated or budget income streams, or in the event of a major shift in the pattem
of activities.
To provide for unfunded staffing related costs and for unforeseen Complian￿ costs
arising from existing or new legislation and regulations.
To provide funds of last resort in the events of unavoidable cost overruns on activities
that cannot be met from ￿strICted funds,
To provide the ability to commission research and development work in the
community, to pump-prime new projects and to maintain project continuity in the
event of limited short-term funding gaps.
To provide a source of working capital to fund additions and renewals to
infrastructure and accommodation, and to provide the mean8 of managing short tsnn
cash flow fluctuations.
The value of reserves required to meet these risks is estimated at £150,000.
FUNDING
Funding comes from two main sources: grants and contractual payments from statutory
bodies and fees and charges to service users. A high proportion of funds have been
received from statutory bodies, The National Lottery Community Fund and North Yorkshire
County Council.
Trustees are appreciative of the funding received from statutory bodies and the confidence
in Ryedale Communty Transport that this implies.
The Trustees wish to thank North Yorkshire County Council and The National Lottery, for
their Grant Support during 202312024.
The Trustees would also like to thank our members and everyone who donated to the
Charity. Their kind donations help to keep the charity and all its services running.
FUNDRAISING
The Charity did not do any active fundraising during 2023124. Funding was generated in the
form of Grants and donations.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

which gives a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources
and application of resources for that year. In preparing these accounts Trustees are required
