ommuni tion Partn rshi Leic ort of the Trte¢S the Year En 31 March 2024 The trustees present their rep(irt and th¢ accompanying financial statements for the charity for the Ye ended 31 st March 2024. OWECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Obj¢ctlves and activities The charity's objectives are.. (l) To provide low-cost communtty transport to residonts and organisations within Lcicestershire, primarily for those who Cannot easily acc¢vJ public transport. (2) To promote and provide any other charitable activities, tncludin8 bringing people together, for the benefit of the community within Lelee8tershir¢. The charity's main activity is the provision of community transport for those in n¢ed and with limited access to transtK)rt who are resident within the dis¢ricts of Blaby, Oadby and Wigston. This service is provided using a combination of its own vehicles and those of its volunteer drivers. At the year end its own vehicles cornprised of a Ford Transit Minibus (with wheelchair capY4city) and a Peu8eol Horizon Rifter, wheelchair a¢¢essibl¢ vehicl¢. Summary of the Charlty's maln aetlvitles durlng the year We continued to offer our transport facilities to our users. with most journeys being undertaken by our volunteer drivers, Demand increased during the year but driver availability limited passenger journeys to 11,147 (compared with 11,188 in 2022123). Unfortunately recruiling volunteer drivers ¢oTJtinued to be problematical leadin8 to some journey requests being refused. In the corning y¢ar the trustee5 and staff will continue their recruitment efforts hOPeIlY to increase available drivers so that all journey rwuests can be met. At the year thd the charity employed four part time staff, a Chief Officer and three Transport Co-ordin8tor& one of whom being on maternity leav¢. It also I1 27 volunteeri, mostly drivers (2022123: 30). This year has mainly been one of consolidation especially settling into th¢ new offi¢¢s at Lkatherline House ond th¢ implementation of a new fares structure from I st April 2023. However. the charity's aclivilie$ were impacted by ytaffing changes ¢aus¢d by the maternity leave on one Transport Co-ordinator and the resignation of aTiother. That meant that from Summer 2023 it operated with Iwo inexperienced Transport Co-ordinators, who required additional training and greater supervision. FINANCIAL REVIEW Funding and reserves The m&in source of ihe ¢hariW8 income is deriv¢d from ants reIVed from Leicestershire County Council plus nominal charges applt¢d for the use of its seryices. Most of its funds are deemed to be 'Restricted Funds" where the funds are provided for 4 specific purpose, namely the provision of transport servi¢es. All financial decisions made by the trustees take attount of that restriction. The trustees, policy on r¢8¢rv¢s 15 to hold sutyicient resowces to 1]ithte the orderly wind down of th¢ businoss within 3 months should a decision be made to slop operatin& To achieve this the tru5tee8 estimate that the reserves should be £25.000. to allow for ony salarie4 dundanCY and temiination of lease contrt$ falling due. Currently reserves exceed that level. STRUCTURE. GOVERNANCE AkD MANAGEMENT Governing document 'rhe charity is governed by a Constitution of a Charitable Inwrporated Organisation whose only voting members are its charity trustees. The constitution is dated 1st April 2020 and the ch8rity became a Charitable IncoryK)rated Organisation on 23rd December 2020, having previously been a limited company, limited by guarantee (Company Number: 05914102).
