For the Year Ended 315r ￿{arch 2025
RYEDALE COMMUNITY TRANSPORT CIO
The Trustees present their annual report together with tile financial statement of the Charity for year
cndcd 31 March 2025.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 201 l and the Statement of Recommended
Practice for Charities (FRS102) and with the charity's governing documents.
GOVERNANCE
The Board of Trustees met regularly during the year with some joining remotely via video link due to
work commitments. The members have a background in differing transport activities and social
interest henc¢ bringing a variety of relevant qualities to Board membership.
The staffing structure during the year comprised oifice staff of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO),
Mark Harris. a Finance Manager. Office Manager. Transport Manager, Wheels2Work Manager
together with a part-time transport administrator and ttvo part-time Car Scheme Booking
CoordinatOTS. The operational transport staff consist of nine paid part-time minibus drivers, four
parttime passenger assistants and a part-time Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) driver.
Volunteers continue to donate valuable additional resources both in th¢ administrdtion of the
organisation and as volunteer drivers.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Volunta
Driver Scheme
The Ryedale Car Scheme provides transport, through recruitment and support of volunt¢er thivers. for
people who do not have access to other means of transport. Volunteers use their own vehicles and
receive expenses of 45p per mile. Since July 2024, at the request of North Yorkshire Council, we have
developed a similar volunteer car scheme in the Whitby area and are now in th¢ early stages of
developing a ￿lther scheme in the Fil¢y Bay area. All three schemes, Ryedale, Whitby and Filey are
managed through the Ryedale Community Transport Optimise database.
The Car Schemes continu¢ to meet mor¢ than 900/0 of all requests for transport although maintaining
this level can be challenging. We currently have 103 active voluntary driver and are always actively
seeking more. Approximately 750/0 of the car scheme journeys are to NHS Secondary Care hospital
appointments or Primary Care doctorloptician relat¢d visits. Ther¢ have been over 3710 individual
journeys completed by 1449 different schem¢ members. Volunteers have driven over 163,000 mil¢s.
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. Journeys in the Whitby area are currently exclusively NHS Secondary Care
appointments with local surgeri¢s coordinating their patients, transport requirements with our charity.
The Filey Bay method of operation is still b¢ing developed.
Ow 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 wh¢elchair
accessible vehicle. These vehicles are available for hir¢ with a driver or as self-drive if the driver
holds a CULTent MIDAS certificate. There is also a W2W van used to move mopeds.
Grou Travel
This provides minibus and wheelchair accessible v¢hicl¢ (WAV) transport servic¢s for
voluntary organisations and community groups. For example we transported clients to and
from the weekly Strong and Steady community s¢ssions on behalf of North Yorkshire Sports.
There have been 291 separate Group Travel bookings.

Individual WAV Travel
23 passengers who need to travel in their own wheelchairs have made 72 journeys, often to
medical appointments, but also to social occasions.
On-demand minibus service
The Ryedale Rover on-demand trial service is part of the evolving strategy of connecting
residents living in villages will) no, or limited. local bus services with the wider area. Et is
being part ￿nded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
One of the trial services proved so popular that it has now been established as a fornial bus
route by North Yorkshire Council connecting HelmsLey Malton twice weekly.
Sho
in
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
ViSAt local towns. These prove particularly success￿1 in providing coliesion for elderly
friendship groups to meet. tn the past 12 months 42 people have made 524 journeys.
The evolvement of the Ryedale Rover on-d¢mand bus service, tog¢th¢r with the introduction of
electric vehicles, has caused us to re-examine some of our working procedures. We continue to seek
further ways that the ￿ndIng provided by the National tA)tt￿ Community Fund could help reduce
rural isolaiion and increase community cohesion
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 2024 we were awarded 4 Home to School contracts together with 2 Scheduled Bus Route
Contracts.
These together with our 2 Home to School contracts for Special Educational Needs pupils at Welburn
Hall provide an essential contribution to overheads and enable the resources of Ryedale Community
Transport to be more resilient to change.
Wheels2Work W2W
The W2W schetne offers the short-tem] hire of mopeds to those who struggle to commute to th¢ir
place of employment. ¢ducation, or training due to the lack of any other viable me￿iS of transw)rt.
The fleet currently comprises 37 mopeds which are availabl¢ to anyone aged 17 or over, who live in
our operating area. 6 of them aTe new electric mopeds which have been kindly ￿nded by North
Yorkshire Council.
During the reporting period, between 16 and 20 clients were being h¢lp¢d at any one time. Our new
Manager remains is regular Contact with our clients and, in supporting th¢m with their use and
maintenance of the moped5, 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 numbeLS of people getting into
fiiiancial difficulty because of their moped hirc.
Electric vehicles
We were awarded a grant from North Yorkshire Couiicil for th¢ purchase of two new electric vehicles
and a charging point. For this we are extremely grafrful. it is far more efficient, has lower running
costs and we can charge on site when not in use. One of the vehicles has been converted lo allow for

the carriage of those with limited mobility ￿]d we are examining new innovative ways that these
electric veliicles could be used.
RISKANALYSIS
Where appropriate, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity
faces. A Critical Tncident Plan is updated annually. Internal control risks are minimised by thc
implementstiorl of procedures for authorisation of transactions and contracts. Procedures are in place
to ensiire compliance with health and safety for staff, volunteers, and customers. All PTocedures are
reviewed annually to ensure that they continue to meet the nceds of tlie cliarity.
FUTURE STRATEGY
Ryedale Community Transport CIO is the sole community transport organisation serving tlie fornier
Ryedale District. As we look forward, we scc new opportunitics to help others but a150 several
challenges to ourselves.
ortL￿1t1es
We will continue to work c105ely with North Yorkshire Council in support of their transport strategy in
particular sharing our ¢xpertise of managing local volunteer car schemes.
We will seek new ways to trial the use of the extra funding awarded by the National Lottery
Community Fund to increase the number of people and locations who will benefit from their ￿ant.
We will continue to engage with NHS organi5ations to both inforni th¢rn of the work we do but also
assist them as they develop their regional transport strategy. We will continue prioritizing NHS
appointmcnts within our CaT Scheme.
We will seek to strengthen our connections wTth charities that operate across North Yorkshire 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.
Clidllcll
Our rnain challenges arc the rising costs of staff employment. the difficulty of rccruiting volunteers
and the additional workload on the Car Scheme, particularly in relation to NHS appointJnents. Our
CEO has woikcd hard over thc past year to r¢def￿C and restructure our staff roles but continuity of
activity witli part-tiine staff 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. With the Car Scheme we rely on volunteers using their own cars. have no full-tim¢ paid
drivers and ask our part-time drivers linked to contracts if they can help when a member must be
transferred in thcir wh¢clchair using a WAV. This is often not possible due to contract time
requirements or driver availability.
The cost of miiiibus¢s has greatly increased over iecent years. We have be¢n very fortunate to have
received ￿ndIng from NYC for som¢ of our vehicles, both diesel and electric. but these cannot be
used on NYC contracts. This year as some the of minibuses used on contracts age we have started to
lease vehicles to remain compliant with the contract ternis regarding age and mileage. The long-terni
cost feasibility of such a decision is being monitored.

The Trustees continue to examine all our activities to ensure that they are still cornpliant with current
Tegulations, are still fit for purpose and whether the necessary manpower is available lo complete
them successfully and safely.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees consider that (unrestricted) cash reserves ar¢ required for the following reasons:
To enable Ryedale Community Transport CIO to maintain essential core fijnctions for a
period of12 months and have tTme to adjust in the event of a significant reduction in
anticipated or budget income streams, or in tlie event of a tnajor shift in the pattern of
activities.
To provide for ull￿nded staffing related costs and for unforeseen compliance costs arising
from existing or new legislation and regulations.
To provide funds of last resort in the ¢v¢nts of unavoidable cost ovcmins on activitie5 that
cannot be rnel from restricted ￿nds.
To provide the ability to commission res¢arch and development work in the community, to
pump-prime new projects and to maintain project continuity in the cvcnt of limited short-terni
funding gaps.
To provide a source of working capital to ￿nd additions and i'enewals to infrastructure and
accommodation, and to provide the m¢ans of managing short terni cash flow fluctuations.
The valu¢ of reserves required lo meet these risks is estimated at £150,000.
FUNDING
Funding comcs from two main sources: grants and contractual payments from statutory bodies and
fees and charges to service users. A high proportion of fijnds have been received from statutory
bodies, The National Lottcry Community Fund and North Yorkshire Council.
The Trustees wish to thank North Yorkshire Council and The National Lottery, for their Grant Support
during 202412025.
Trustees are appreciative of the funding received from statutory bodies and the confidence in Ryedale
Community Transpoit that this implies.
The Trustees would also like to thank our members and everyone who contributed to the donations of
over £36,000 to the Charity over the year. Their kind donations help to keep the charity and all its
services running.

Grants and donations.
