Chairman’s report year end January 2022 

We operate five vehicles, owning four and lease one from Worcestershire County Council. We have both paid staff and volunteers who offer between 10 – 28 hours per week to support our operation. 

Year end 2022 has seen patronage levels returning to around 60% of pre Covid figures. Despite these challenges we have continued to offer affordable travel around our area of operation. 

In total we provided approximately 13500 trips per year for the local community comprising transport for 2100 SEN adult trips, 7200 local bus trips and 4200 Dial A Ride journeys for those who could not get around via other means affordably for shopping, fellowship and social outings.
