## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

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 30 June 2024. 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** 

## **Summary of objectives** 

To develop the capacity and skills of the socially disadvantaged community of the North East of England. Through this, they are better able to identify, and meet their needs, and to participate more fully in society. 

To improve the health of the public by encouraging cycling. 

To advance the education of all ages of the public in the safe use, re-use and maintenance of bicycles. 

The protection and preservation of the environment for the public benefit by saving bicycles from landfill and promoting bicycle re-use and recycling. 

## **Summary of main activities** 

## **Sales and servicing** 

Recyke y'Bike diverts bicycles from landfill and makes good use of all bicycles donated. This includes the salvage of reusable spare parts for onsite use or sale; recycling of recovered metals, donation of spare parts to other projects. 

Recyke y'Bike provides a source of reliable, cheap, safe second-hand bicycles to the public who may not otherwise be able to afford a bicycle or who are just starting cycling. Servicing of and repairs to bikes helps customers to keep their bikes on the road in good, safe condition. 

## **Training** 

Recyke y'Bike provides training in cycle maintenance and safe cycling on a regular basis with cheaper rates to those disadvantaged financially. 

## **Giving** 

Recyke y'Bike aims to improve people's standard of living by providing free refurbished bicycles to the disadvantaged locally through a community bicycle referral scheme. 

Volunteers are key to Recyke y'Bike and have given freely thousands of hours of their time and energy throughout the year. Volunteers enjoy a sociable and supportive environment at Recyke y'Bike where they can see the benefit of what they contribute. In addition, volunteers receive on the job training in bicycle maintenance and bicycle mechanics. This augments the volunteering opportunities provided through Recyke y'Bike which benefits the volunteer by providing meaningful activity, social interaction and, for some, a pathway to paid employment.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES - continued** 

## **Outreach and campaigning** 

Recyke y'Bike promotes cycling events and cycling by providing marshals on rides, stalls at events and mechanics' services in support of charity rides. 

## **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. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

It has been a challenging year financially with cost increasing across the board, most notably in utilities and staffing costs.. Recyke y'Bike monitors these costs closely and produces regular cashflow forecasts in order to ensure financial resilience. 

The shops continue to grow and support the charity, with demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable cycling products and servicing required more than ever before, we are seeing a benefit from this by having busy shops! They are a great outlet for us to provide support to keep bikes rolling and allow second hand parts to reduce costs to cyclists and prevent usable parts going to landfill. It's been great to see so many volunteers not only supporting outreach projects but the shops as well. 

Recyke y'Bike has given away over 200 referral bikes to people in need. Funding for replacement parts and staff time to check the bikes and administer the scheme came from The National Lottery Awards for All. As usual demand has outstripped supply. There is a significant need for cheap, healthy, sustainable transportation which will likely increase next year with the raise on the cap on a single bus fare. Access to a bike can save an individual over £600 per year on public transport costs. Access to a bike also provides freedom, agency, fun and has huge health benefits. 

Recyke y'Bike has delivered women only repair sessions twice a month over the last year with sessions running from both shops. These sessions have provided a safe and supportive space for women to gain the skills to keep their bikes running well so that they can cycle with confidence. 

Recyke y'Bike identified a need in the local LGBTQ+ community and so arranged to deliver social and inclusive workshops to build confidence and interest. The charity has hosted workshops and social rides. The sessions have been a great success and well attended. The LGBTQ+ workshops were set up with help from Cycling UK and the Big Bike Revival. 

## Their goal is to: 

- Inspire adults who don't currently cycle to begin 

- Inspire those who have taken a break from cycling to return 

- Inspire those who do cycle to start cycling more frequently 

During the course of the year, a number of experienced trustees have stepped down and the Trustees would like to thank them for their many years of dedicated service to Recyke y'Bike. We have therefore recruited new members who bring a wealth of business experience to the board. 

Working alongside other more recently joining trustees, some longer-term trustees and staff, have created a strategic plan to help direct the charity through the next five years.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - continued** 

## **Partnerships** 

Recyke y'Bike has a settled team of mechanics and support staff, with several mechanics gaining additional qualifications and attending e-bike courses, so that we should be able to start servicing e-bikes, for which there is considerable demand. Our apprentice is now a qualified mechanic and another has just started, recruited from our pool of young volunteers. 

## **Supported Volunteering** 

This year Recyke y'Bike has gained a lot of new young volunteers and it's great to see the high demand from young people. Three members of the young volunteer group have now been coming for a couple of years and have built considerable knowledge and skills. They are now able to provide peer mentoring support for new young volunteers. During each session, experienced staff go through a range of tasks with the group and match tasks to participants depending on skill and experience level. It is rewarding to see them grow in confidence and feel pride in their achievements. In September the group participated in a workshop with Northumberland Wildlife Trust which they really enjoyed, and it was good to see them having fun with an activity outside. We plan to take them out on a nature ride before the end of the year. 

## **Future plans** 

Recyke y'Bike is always looking for different ways of generating income which align to the charity's objectives. One of these is providing alternative education for young people who are struggling with mainstream education and need alternative routes to formal accreditation. Recyke y'Bike is re-starting support for volunteering work to enable people seeking asylum to volunteer, gain new skills and a supportive network. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Total income for the year ended 30 June 2024 was £393,842 (2023 - £359,224) of which £57,532 (2023 - £30,652) was subject to restriction. Income has increased 9.6% compared to 2023. 

Expenditure has increased 20.7% to £425,689 (2023 - £352,665) with a net deficit of £31,847 (2023 - surplus of £6,559). 

Total funds of the charity at 30 June 2024 amounted to £142,740 (2023 - £174,587), of which £34,111 (2023 - £19,810) was subject to restriction. Designated reserves (see below) amounted to £111,790 (2023 - £104,936), there was a deficiency in free reserves of £3,161 (2023 - free reserves amounted to £49,841). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity intends to set aside sufficient reserves to meet its legal obligations should the need to cease operations arise, however the present financial position of the charity prevents the full amount being designated. The contingency fund is therefore capped at six months' core operating costs.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RECYKE Y'BIKE LTD.** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Recyke y'Bike Ltd. ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources (see Allocation of support costs, below). 

Irrecoverable VAT is recognised as a cost, charged to the activity under which the related expenditure arose. 

## **Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs relate to functions of the charity which do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs are charged to the activity to which they relate; where they relate to multiple activities they are apportioned on the basis of staff time spent on each activity. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Improvements to property -     33% on cost, 20% on cost and 10% on cost Plant and machinery -     50% on cost, 33% on cost and 20% on cost

## **Restricted Grants** 

Restricted grants comprise funding to which conditions are attached along with the related expenditure. Income during the year includes £14,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund for the provision of referral bikes of which £8,500 remained unspent at the balance sheet date. There were no other material components to the fund at the balance sheet date. 

## **Capital fund** 

The capital fund represents the charity's illiquid, non-current assets which are therefore not freely available. Amounts are transferred to this fund on capitalisation of the related expenditure and charges against this fund represent depreciation of those assets. 

## **Contingency fund** 

An amount has been set aside to cover the costs of temporary continuation in the event of loss of income, a restructuring of operations in the event that income is not restored, and finally the cost of dissolution in the event that the charity is no longer able to continue as a going concern having explored the above options. The required level of reserve is reviewed annually with the necessary amount transferred to/from the general fund. 

## **20. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES** 

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 30 June 2024.
