(2) To promote and provide any other Charithble aclivilies. including bringing people together. for the benefit of the ¢ommunity within Leicestershire, The charity's main activity is the provision of Community transpon for those in n¢ed and with limited a¢cess to transport who are r¢sid¢nt within thc districts of Blaby, Oadby and Wi8Ston. This service is provided using 8 combination of its vehicles and those of ils VolUnr drivers. At thc year end lis own vehicles comprised of a Renault Trnfic (with wheelchair rapacity) and a Peugeot Horizon Rifter, wh¢¢lchair accessible vehicle. Summ4ry of ihe Ch#rl¢y'i mSn ellvltles durlng the yeAr We continued to offer our transpon facilities 10 our US3. With most journey$ being Lmdert8ken by our volunteer drivers. Demand increased during the year bu¢ driver availability limited pass¢n8er journeys to 11.057 (compared wilh 11,147 in 2023124). A higher than w8ual short notice cancellalion of journeys for medlcal appointments 8180 impacted on the number of journeys Ihal we could Complete. Unfornmately rttTuilin8 volunteer drivers continu¢d to be problematical leadin8 to some journey requests being refiL8ed. The trustee5 and $thff will continue their recruitment efforts IKJpefully to increase availible drivers so th&t all journey r¢qu¢sts ¢an be met. At the yeaT end the chgrity employed four part time staff. a Chief OITicer, two Transport Cowordinators and one Admin Support, li also had 26 volunteer5. mostly drivers (2023124: 27>, Durlng summer 2024 8 Transport Cwrdinator who had been on malernity leave returned to work, providin8 the charity with the opportunity to restructure its team. converting 8 tempordry maiernity cover Transpon Covordinator role to Athnin Support. This new role, on a trial basi& supported the whole team and frccd up some tim¢ for it to undertake more promoiional work in the community. However, with the resignaiion of a Transport Co-ordinaior in Mah it is intended to revcrt to three part lime aff (including the Admin Support role) from April 2025. This will be on a trial basis and, if su¢¢essfvl, will lead to cosi savings in the next financial y¢or. The tnte¢S decided to replace the dwitys aged Ford Trnnsit wheelchair adapted minibus with a newer vehicle whi¢h better suited our current operational needs Ind in Au¥usi 2024 look delivery of a new R¢nauli Trafic Wheelchair accessibl¢ vehicle. This vchicle proved highly successful bul, following flood damage in January 2025, it was written off by our insurers. A replacement used Renauli Tr8fic (with a similar specification) was obtained in March. Fortunwely, as th¢ Ford Transli had not been sold at the time of ihe incident, services wer¢ not mAt¢rially affected but additional costs were incurred ensuring that the Ford remain¢d fit for puryose. Th¢ Ford was ev¢ftrually sold in latc Mar¢h. FINANCIAL REVIEW Funding and reserves The main 30urce of the charity'5 income is derived from grants e1Ved from Leic¢stershire County Council plus nominal Charges applied for the use of its services. MO of its ndS are deemed to be "Restricted Funds" wher¢ the funds are provided for a specific purpose, namely the provision of transport seryices. All fmancial decisions made by the Iruslees lake COunt of that restriction. The trustecs, policy on reserves is to hold sufficieni resources to facilitste the orderly wind down of the business within 3 months should a decision be made to stop operating. To achieve this the ffiistees estimate that the reserves should b¢ £25,0(KJ, to allow for any salaries, redundaney and terniination of1¢85e ¢ontr8cts falling due. Currentty res¢rv¢s exceed thai level. Pag¢ I
