Structure, Governance and Management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 21 June 2007 and registered as a charity on 19 September 2007.
The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022
Organisational Structure
The Company Directors are also called the Management Committee (the Board) in the governing document and are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. As a Disabled People’s Organisation, Wheels for Wellbeing strives to ensure that its Board is made up of at least 50% of Disabled Trustees. The current Board exceeds this.
The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, a third of the Trustees must retire from office at the Annual General Meeting each year. Officers are elected by the Trustees at the meeting following the AGM. Regular trustee skills audits are carried out to identify the resources available within the Committee and gaps are addressed through training and by seeking new members with the requisite experience. Future trustees are elected by existing trustees.
The Board oversees the work of the organisation at a strategic and policy level and scrutinises regular reports on financial matters and service performance. Since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic and throughout the reporting period, bi-monthly Board meetings were held on Zoom throughout the year. Day to day responsibility for the operation of the charity is delegated to the Director, Isabelle Clement. The organisation is lean and efficient, with a very small core team based in the Head Office in Brixton (but largely working from home during the year due to the pandemic), driving the policy and campaigning, advisory, advocacy and fundraising work. From June 2021 two additional senior manager posts with responsibility for cycling operations and for campaigning and policy have been created to work alongside the Director. Operations supporting Disabled participants at three sites in South London are coordinated from our Head Office and delivered by part-time inclusive cycling instructors and volunteers.
Objectives and Activities
The company is a charity led by Disabled people which aims to promote community participation and social inclusion and to build health, skills and independence. It does this by running inclusive Disability cycling sessions in South London, and channelling the experience of Disabled participants, staff, volunteers and ambassadors to change wider attitudes and improve conditions for inclusive cycling in London and across the UK.
The charity’s principal activities are the provision of:
-
Regular sessions for people with mobility or other impairments who would benefit from expert advice and support and access to cycles or adaptations such as recumbents, hand cycles, trikes and side by side tandems;
-
Regular sessions for people who want to benefit from exercising on cycles away from the road;
-
Cycling clubs for Disabled children and their families;
-
A cycle hire scheme, in development after a six-monthpilot phase;
-
Strategic and partnership working with statutory bodies, consultants, engineers, cycling advocacy groups and cycle related businesses with the aim of ensuring the cycling environment and market are welcoming to Disabled people who cycle.
Trustees are mindful of the need to ensure that the charity’s activities are for public benefit, and take into account the Charity Commission’s guidance in this area.
Risk Management
The Board monitors potential risks to the charity in the areas of governance and strategy, finances, staffing and operations and legal compliance. Systems of internal control are robust and a RAG risk assessment tool is used to report on all aspects of the charity’s business, reviewed by trustees at regular Board meetings.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 the Board and the Director have focussed strongly on dealing with the impact on the charity’s operations and on remodelling services to ensure that they remain relevant and effective in the changing environment. We have sought to maximise use of funding which became available to charitable companies to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. We are working to a revised fundraising strategy which will continue to raise our profile and develop relationships with potential donors from diverse sources and have begun to attract significant funding support for the contribution we can make to the wider active travel agenda.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022
Achievements and Performance 2021/22
During the year Wheels for Wellbeing delivered charitable activities for public benefit as follows:
(1) Inclusive cycling sessions and led rides
The reporting period covers the second year of the Covid crisis. The UK government imposed some level of COVID restrictions until February 24th 2022. However, regulations allowed for (risk assessed) activities for Disabled people to take place and by September 2021, all of our pre-Covid inclusive cycling sessions had re-opened. Our Ladywell Centre sessions, however, moved outside, in the car park of the Centre, rather than returning to being held inside the sports hall. Our teams continued to apply strong infection control measures at all our venues (ie: strict cleaning regime of cycle between participants; requesting pre-booking of time-slots; reduced numbers at sessions; no provision of volunteer tandem riders).
Whilst the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic still had an effect on our session delivery throughout 2021/22 we saw session attendances return to almost the same levels as in 2019/20:
-
There were 5,237 attendances at our open sessions (6,882 in 2019/20, 869 in 2020/21)
-
Average attendance at open sessions was 23 (35 in 2019/20, 16 in 2020/21)
-
276 open sessions, including ‘Kids on Wheels’ sessions, were delivered (308 in 2019/20, 80 in 2020/21)
-
40 organisations/groups attended open sessions (71 in 2019/20, 14 in 2020/21).
-
31 individuals took part in led rides (led rides were developed at the height of the pandemic, when group sessions were still not taking place – they became so popular that they have continued and become an important part of our service offer)..
(2) Campaigns and policy work influencing professionals, politicians and populations to help improve lives for Disabled people
Wheels for Wellbeing is firmly established as a leading voice in the cycling and active travel sectors. As a result, Disabled cyclists are becoming better recognised as major stakeholders in the active travel and health arenas. We continue to advocate for cycle infrastructure that is accessible for Disabled cyclists and riders of non-standard cycles. We continue to make the case for cycles to be legally recognised as mobility aids and for improved representation of Disabled cyclists in policy, imagery and language. 2021/22 saw a number of new developments in our campaigns and policy work:
• New appointments
In 2021 the campaigns and policy team expanded from one part time Campaign & Policy Officer to two part time Officers and a part time Manager.
• Experiences of Disabled Cyclists Survey Report
In 2022 we published a full report from our 2021 national survey of Disabled cyclists, which included specific data on the impacts of COVID-19 and lockdowns.
- Expert Panel on Inclusive Cycling
In 2021 we set up the first ever Expert Panel on Inclusive Cycling. The panel members are stakeholders (retailers/manufacturers of inclusive cycles and providers of inclusive cycling sessions) from across the UK. They hold quarterly meetings to discuss current issues, policy developments and the activities of the members. The panel is developing into being the go-to advisory group for all things to do with accessibility and cycling.
- Disabled Cycling Activist Network (DCAN)
In 2022 we launched a network for Disabled cyclists who are campaigning for better access to cycling around the country. DCAN is an online portal for Disabled cycling activists to get together, share ideas, and support each other with their campaigning activities. Members have access to a range of resources (produced by us) to help them challenge poor infrastructure and discrimination.
- Cycle Parking Training
We developed a training package for designers, urban planners, and local authorities on cycle parking, and how to ensure that cycle parking includes some fully accessible provision. So far, the feedback on our training has been positive. Queen Margaret’s University, Edinburgh, have developed a prototype accessible cycle stand, based on a design in our Guide to Inclusive Cycling.
- Additional Training Packages
We have also developed courses on Disability Equity, Experiential Inclusive Cycling, and understanding the needs of Disabled cyclists.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022
Achievements and Performance 202/22 (continued)
• Access consultancy We have provided a range of access consultancy services both in-person and from-plans reviews of cycle infrastructure and schemes. This work, along with the training, has become a significant income-generation stream.
• Providing Evidence and Advice
We have continued to develop our nationwide reach by providing evidence to national committees and organisations. We gave evidence to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Cycling and Walking for the development of their Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy 2 and many of our contributions were included in the final report. We worked with the Department for Transport in the development of Active Travel England, e-cycle trial events, and cycling on prescription trial schemes. We hope to continue to work with local authorities trialling cycles as a mobility aid as part of the cycling on prescription trials.
• Working with other cycling campaigns We continued to work with other campaign groups to ensure that Disabled cyclists are included in their activities, including participating in the Bike is Best and Local Bike Shop Day. • Presentations We have given in-person and online presentations at a range of conference and events nationally and internationally including: Conscious Cities (London), Micromobilities (Warwick), Transport Planners Association (London), UNCRPD Side Event (New York), Cycle City; Active City (Sheffield), Active Travel Summit (Liverpool).
• Consultations
We set up a London consultation mailing list and page on our website, to try to ensure Disabled cyclists are heard when any changes are made to cycling and walking infrastructure in London. We continued to respond to national consultations on public transport, highways regulations, and active travel, to try to keep access needs at the centre of any new or amended travel schemes.
Financial Review
Overall, incoming resources were £340,305 (2021: £373,019), and total expenditure was £367,438 (2021: £295,582). The Charity had a deficit of £27,133 (2021: surplus £77,437).
This outcome, in the face of the potentially devastating impact of continuing COVID-19 disruptions on the charity’s finances, was very satisfactory and reflected the hard work of the Director and her team throughout the year. The gradual restart of cycling sessions saw an increase of 179% in income from participant charges (compared to a reduction of 69% last year) and an increase of 120% in total donations (half of which were individual donations), compared to a reduction of 20% last year. A number of significant new grants were also secured. These recognised the charity’s creativity in re-designing its service delivery to maintain an offer to beneficiaries and exploring new projects such as the inclusive cycle hire scheme to make cycling an even more accessible option in the post-pandemic world. The flexibility of existing funders, notably City Bridge Trust and Lewisham Council, enabled the charity to negotiate using grants in different ways to achieve important outcomes despite the challenges of providing face to face services. The charity was also able to benefit from the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to place cycling instructors on furlough to ensure that their services could be retained and that they would be available to call on when regular cycling activities resumed part way through the year. We were able to stop using the scheme a month ahead of its closure, as our team was back working at full capacity by then.
Principal Funding Sources:
Main sources of income during this year have been the following: grants (c.62%); donations (c.21%); participants’ charges (c.8%); consultancy income (c.2%); and other income (c.7%).

-

Reserves Policy
The Trustees are aware of the responsibility to protect the services we deliver to our client groups and to enable the charity to comply with requirements under employment legislation in the event of significant unplanned reductions in funding. The Trustees have considered the level of reserves which are needed to enable the charity to meet its obligations, manage areas of identified risk including those arising from the COVID-19 pandemic(including ongoing reduced income from participant charges and the constraints on local authority funding available to the voluntary sector)and to invest in projects which will enhance its work.
It is the Trustees’ current policy to seek to maintain unrestricted funds sufficient to enable the company to operate for a period of a minimum of 6 months, which the current level of unrestricted reserves achieves, with an optimum target of one year.
Investment Policy
Trustees considered the potential risk and reward of investing any funds which are not required for immediate operations. They decided to hold all funds in a low-risk cash bank account. It has been possible to hold some available reserves in an interest-bearing bank deposit account this year, to maximise income without compromising operational commitments.
Plans for Future Periods
Cycling operations
Delivery of regular and additional sessions and providing other flexible opportunities for cycling for individuals and small groups will continue to be core areas of our work. We have maintained the system of having lower numbers of participants at our main sessions than was the case in pre-Covid times. This enables us to manage Covid risk and also gives our users a better quality experience. We have retained timed slots and the booking system introduced during Covid and we are developing a more efficient and responsive online system for pre-booking (and for the first time, pre-paying). To compensate for the reduction in spaces available at sessions, we have increased the overall number of sessions, especially at Herne Hill Velodrome. We are still working to move our sessions from the Ladywell Centre to the Ladywell Arena; this involves finding solutions to some complex issues of cycle storage for which we need to build local support.
We increased our popular organised led rides programme during Covid and this is now established as a weekly event from Herne Hill Velodrome, with plans to replicate it at our other two venues.
The Inclusive cycle hire scheme has not grown as much as we envisaged, though we have continued to invest in a part-time post of Coordinator for the service. Our ability to meet demand is limited by the very specific, often complex needs of enquirers which necessitates a visit to our session first to do a cycle fit which lengthens the process. Also, we are finding that our cycles are now being fully used again during sessions, which limits the availability of those which may be requested by potential hirers. The cost of delivery and collection is also a challenge. We receive regular enquiries and hope to continue to provide this service, whilst looking for opportunities to scale it up and make it sustainable which will require building a specific hire fleet and securing a central London location for its storage and a logistics partner for transporting bikes to and from clients.
Campaigns & Policy
We are committed to taking forward the wide range of policy and campaigning work highlighted earlier in the review and to increasing its impact. Our investment in a strengthened team to lead this work is a response both to the demand from a wide range of agencies for our contributions and to the potential we can see for achieving real change. At a strategic level, we continue to receive funding support to advise the Department for Transport and the newly created executive agency of DfT, Active Travel England. Through this, the outcome we are working for is a much improved visibility and influence of Disabled cyclists at the heart of active travel policy in England and beyond. Initiatives we have led, particularly the Disabled Cycling Activists Network and the Expert Panel on Inclusive Cycling, will enable Disabled cyclists to better support each other nationally and to develop the voice of the sector.
As our expertise and reputation have grown we have further developed our consultancy work and are planning to develop this further as a means of increasing our influence and of income generation for our campaigning work which has proven challenging to fundraise for.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022
Plans for Future Periods (continued)
Strategic Review
The charity is now 15 years old and, as our operations and activities continue to expand, the Board has initiated a new strategic review to shape our direction of travel over the next decade, considering our priorities and our capacity and sustainability to enable us to deliver these. With funding from Impact on Urban Health and the assistance of independent consultants we are going through the thorough process of developing the new strategy which we expect to be in place, alongside a communications strategy, early in 2023. We will then undertake the necessary business planning to begin to implement our plans.
Responsibilities of the Management Committee
The members are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the surplus or deficit of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the members are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Members of the Management Committee
Members of the Management Committee, who are directors for the purpose of company law and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in July 2014) and in accordance with the special provisions of Part VII of the Companies Act 1985 relating to small entities.

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS' INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WHEELS FOR WELLBEING
We report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 15.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
