## **Wyre Forest Dial-A-Ride Charity Number 1110002** ## **Trustees** Glen Collins – Chairman Ian Redfern – Trustee Lionel Slack – Trustee Jonathan Haley – Trustee ## **Charity Number** 1110002 ## **Bankers** HSBC, 13 Church Street, Kidderminster ## **Solicitors** Higgs LLP, Waterfront Business Park, 3, Brierley Hill, DY5 1LX ## **Report of the Trustees year ending January 2023** We operate five vehicles, owning four and lease one from Worcestershire County Council. We use paid staff and volunteers who offer between 10 – 28 hours per week to support our operation. Patronage for our Dial-A-Ride service remains below pre-Covid levels, this is reflected across both the Community and Public transport sectors. Volunteers continue to be difficult to recruit and financial donations have reduced significantly. However, the Government continues to offer Concessionary fare and BSOG funding at pre Covid levels in an effort to support the sector but without our existing contracts it would be difficult to sustain the service. One positive aspect was a successful tender for a twelvemonth contract from September to transport SEN pupils to a School in Bromsgrove which has enhanced the financial situation.
