EAST DURHAM COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Objects of the Charity and how it is attempting to achieve the objectives

The Charity is governed by a written constitution in which its objects are set out. The Charity aims to provide affordable, reliable, accessible transport for registered youth and community groups, registered charities, schools, statutory groups and other non-profit making voluntary organisations.

Objectives achieved in the year, a review of activities and significant changes and development plans for the future.

Introduction

With the COVID 19 pandemic still in circulation, but with restrictions lifted, 2021 saw some normality for the Charity although not on the usual scale. The Travel Club was able to restart and groups started to access the transport. Hospital appointment transport and local shopping trips also continued getting vulnerable and isolated people to essential services. A large grant secured in June 2021 from the COVID Management Outbreak Fund meant the Charity has been able to continue its operation. Under the exceptional circumstances the Trustees are satisfied with the performance of the Charity during the year from a staffing and professional view. The Charity is in a good position financially as of 31 December 2021 especially due to the limited services and restrictions and feels the Charity is in a relatively good position to continue its activities during the coming year, and that the Charity's assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations at this moment in time. It is always the intention to secure funding each year to boost income and this will be the focus in 2022. In a time of worldwide uncertainty, the Trustees and staff achieve what they can with the resources available.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on their legal duty on public benefit and are satisfied that the charity delivers public benefit. Due regard is also paid to the guidance on public benefit when deciding which new projects to undertake.

Contributions from volunteers

Volunteers carry out valued work for the charity.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Achievement of objectives and review of activities

The Trustees are satisfied that the aims and objectives of the Charity have continued to be met and have worked together with staff to make the working practices achievable as far as possible due to the restrictions in place but feels that the Charity has adapted well, modifying its services to supply essential shopping trips to elderly and disabled members, collecting prescriptions and shopping for those in isolation, taking people for essential health and hospital appointments, helping transport stock for a local food bank, keeping in regular contact with vulnerable members by telephone and restarting group hire and the much needed Travel Club trips.

The COMF funding has been a huge financial help and has meant that use of reserves has been limited leaving the Charity in quite a decent financial position.

A robust vehicle cleaning system and passenger guidelines are still in place even with most restrictions lifted to ensure passenger safety and confidence. As home working was implemented and very successful during the lockdowns it was decided and agreed not to renew the lease on the office. The landlord had indicated a large increase in rental costs and with the Charity being responsible for all repairs to the premises it was not viable or sensible to continue to rent premises with the exception of secure vehicle parking on the same site. The Operations Manager has ensured that the Charity runs just as smoothly as always with systems in place for vehicle collection, vehicle cleaning, office set up and staff meet regularly to discuss the working practices. Vehicles have all been correctly maintained and have had the usual regular safety inspections carried out. For all it has been a different year it has been productive and busy with staff adapting very well and the Trustees are extremely proud of the team for the efforts they have shown in what has been an uncertain and scary time.

Details of intangible income

There were no donations of intangible income during the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Transactions and financial position

The charity reported a surplus of £25,754 (2020 - deficit of £16,482). At the balance sheet date, total funds amounted to £150,955 (2020 - £125,201) of which £nil (2020 - £1,117) were subject to restriction.

Specific changes in fixed assets

Changes in fixed assets are shown in detail in the notes to the accounts.

Effectiveness of fundraising policies

The charity relies on grant aid from the donors identified in the accounts, whose support is invaluable. There have been no other fundraising activities.

Policies on reserves, investment policies and investment performance

The Trustees have resolved to establish reserves to provide for future activities, and the Trustees have limited powers of investment.

Within those powers, a statement of investment principles has been adopted as set out below. The policy on reserves is that the existing financial assets are retained to produce income which is wholly utilised to support existing activities. There is no intention in the long term to either increase or reduce the capital held. This policy is justified in that it is necessary to preserve income at the present levels as far as possible in order to maintain the activities of the charity, however due to the unprecedented situation reserves have been utilised where necessary.

Funds are invested in short term bank deposit accounts because of the need to access the funds.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The Board of Trustees are aware that the Charity's assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations for a limited number of years without external funding and will address any issues accordingly.

Going concern

The trustees have reviewed the circumstances of the charity and are satisfied that adequate resources will be available to fund the activities of the charity for the foreseeable future; the trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AND DEVELOPMENTS AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Staffing remained the same in 2021 with a team consisting of an Operations Manager, Travel Club Co-ordinator and with the 2 part time drivers increasing their hours to full time with funding secured, to meet demand. The usual volunteer drivers who had to shield at home due to underlying health problems/age unfortunately decided not to return but this was more to do with licencing because of their age. 2 'younger' volunteers helped out at the beginning of the year and continue to help out when needed.

The organisation is ever confident that it has the right balance in place for the Charity to move forward and continue to deliver its aims and objectives.

Services were modified with one-to-one transport being offered as well as the usual group hire and goods were transported (the insurers were happy for the Charity to do this).

Plans for the future include partnership working, publicity, and sponsorship and to seek funding to cover core costs. An application to the Lottery is in the process of being submitted to cover salaries for the 4 members of staff for a 3-year period. The Trustees understand that if previous deficits were to continue, the long-term sustainability of the Charity is at risk and funding is essential to enable it to continue beyond 2022. It will do everything possible to keep the Charity afloat in order to meet its aims and objectives and to continue to be a vital part of life in our local community. It would be devastating for the most vulnerable in our society if the Charity were to close as well as the loss of jobs for valued, long serving members of staff but the Trustees are ever confident that the Charity will continue to for the foreseeable future.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

East Durham Community Transport Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Method of election of the members of the Board of Trustees

The members of the Board of Trustees are elected at the annual general meeting. The Trustees may co-opt other members onto the Board but those co-opted members have no voting rights. The co-opted members must have the necessary qualities and experience needed to run both a Charity and a transport service. The Trustees managed to meet face to face before the pandemic and once again later in the year with 2 other meetings carried out remotely.

The organisational structure and how decisions are made

The charity operates in accordance with its constitution whereby a Trustee, from user group representative, is appointed at each annual general meeting to direct and oversee the work of the charity and holds no less than 4 meetings during each year. Staff liaise with Trustees on a monthly basis with budget and operational updates. A very close working relationship with Trustees and staff has been established, especially in the past few years which is vital in ensuring good communications, a friendly, comfortable environment but remaining very professional. The Operations Manager has worked tirelessly in 2021 to ensure budgets were met, funding was secured and grants accessed and all procedures for the Charity to remain open were in place.

Relationships with other groups, charities and individuals

The charity works with statutory agencies, registered youth and community groups, registered charities and other non-profit making voluntary organisations which become members and uses its vehicles to assist them in achieving their aims.

Details of related parties and transactions with related parties

The trustees are not aware of any related parties.

The major risks to which the charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate risks

The Trustees identify the major risks to which the charity is exposed each financial year when preparing and updating a strategic plan, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity. The Trustees then review any major risks which have been identified, and establish systems to mitigate those risks. The charity is satisfied that the systems are in place to mitigate their exposure to the major risks which have been so identified and reviewed.

Designated funds

The designated funds were established in the 31 December 2007 Charitable Trust financial statements and relate to capital grants received for the purchase of additional minibuses.

Fund transfers

Fund transfers represent the proportion of vehicle sales proceeds where funding was provided for the acquisition of the vehicle in question. As the vehicles were in use for a period of at least five years from acquisition there is no restriction on the use of these proceeds, they are therefore released to general unrestricted funds.

14. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 December 2021.

15. LEGAL STATUS
