PRESTON COMMUNrrY TRANSPORT LIMrrED
BOARD OF TRUSTEES. REPORT FOR 2022r23(CONTIIIUED)
Preston CT large￿ relies on contract fUr￿lTh3 from L8n¢ashire County Council and financial SUPFrfJt from South
Ribble Borough Council to meet expenditure. supplwnented by income generated from fares and user
conlribulions. The pandemic interTUPted a gradual shrft towards the percentsge eamed from other sources but
as demand recovers we will aim to continue to incrwe the number of pas￿ngerS and therefore Ihgir
contribution.
Overvl•w
This year has seen a 9radual recovery in passenger numtevs after the impact of the pandemic and its
lockdowns. In ternis of passenger numbers we a￿ faced with h¥0 Conflicting ssues. There is an un¢J¢rstsndable
continuing reluctance of the more Vulnerab￿ irKINi(Juals. who fofm a mapiity of our passeng8rs. lo resume Ihelr
previous travellsocial ￿haViOUrs. However. on the POSitNe side it is being increasingty recognised within
'official' Circles that loneliness is a major issue and that access to transport for the most disadvantsged is a
major issue. AS an organisation we are well-placed to ensure that individua15 are able to resume a full life
following the pandemic and to Continue to provide the vital links fr(Mn home to S￿la1 a¢tNit1eslmèd￿al
appoinlmenlslshopplng etc..
The NHS in its many foms has in￿asInglY re¢ognisgd the vital role of Communty Transport in providing the
links lo improve individuafs well-being through providlng wdei access to socTral 8clivit+es. 2023124 has seen
Preston Community Transport's active invofvement in a COLTrple of schemes funded by the NHS. as well as
continuing our active support for the development of South Ribble Council's Social Isolation ne￿ork.
At the Moment. wth continuing funding support frorn LancaShI￿ County Council and proiect funds from the
NHS. in Ihg short-terni our fvndirig position seems rdatively heallhy. and the increase in passet)ger income as
our services recover will improve Ihis srtuation. However. we are concerned thal the Govemmenl under-lundlng
of both council and NHS activitses remain a hyyr-lerm threat.
R•sour¢•$
staffNolunleers- OUT learn continues to be our major asset and has risen to the many challenges which face
them. Recruibng new volunteef drivefs continues to be an issue. as does the recruitment of Truste&s.
Vehicles- as noted a￿Ve. we are beginnin9 to embark on a vehicle replacement progrdmme. A key issue is the
long-lenn objective lo move towards Electric Vehides. hth¥ever. at the rrrf)ment both they and their suppoth'ng
infrastructure are prohibitiv8ty expensive. so Ihat in the short-temi at least we are constrained to txintinue
replacement with hydrttarbon fuelled vehicles.
S8rw¢gs- we provitle a variety of transFrt)rt services. Iheir indNidual demand has vawied over the lasl few years.
Recenlty. dem8nd for our Communrty Cars ser¥ice has gruwn considernbty quicker than the recovery in demand
for places on our Dial a Ride minibus services.
Key managem•nt personnel and remunerallon.
The charity applie$ salaries ¢ommensurate with dulles and are consistent with local benchmarki￿. Salaries are
reviewed annually by the Board of Tru51ees the minimum in line with the Real knving Wage. The Charity
¢onsideTS its key personnel to be the General Manager and the Communty Cars Co-ordinator
Post yearryend wents
As identified above, ad￿l￿nal funding from the NHS has been obtsined lo support two projects- llis will
require careful deployment of resources. Bringing our newty-a¢quiTed replacement vehicle will maintain a high
standard of comfort for our passengefs but will increase our depreciation charye for 2023124.
