at the begtnning of March 2010 when all employees trw)sferred from Essex County
Council th the new organisatio
Objectives and Activities
In setting our objcciives and planning our aciiviiies. the T￿￿tr¢S have givcn care￿1
con5id¢rdrion to the Choriry Commissiork's gcn¢ral gutdancc on public benefit. All
income received by the charity has been applied to the provision of the chartty's
aims.
The BCT'S pnncipal objectives can be summarised as follows:
To uphold the principles of the Charity. Namely:
To provide trawrt options for anyone who. for wbatever is
unable to use m&instream public transpoTL These reasons includ¢ but
are not limited to age, il]ness or geogrdphical isolation.
To 8bSlSt the charitsble work of organisations engag￿ in promo(ing
social bcn¢fits for such peTSODS through the provksion of appropriate
transwrt solutions.
To help minin)ise social exclusio￿ by providing afford&ble mobility
accessible trallSPOrt solutions to needy indivkduals. and also provide
5UStainable trdnsport solutions ts) community statutory and non-

Th¢ main activities comprise the following:

attendÉng St Helens School and unable to access public transport.
Acbievements Hnd Perform¥Dce
The Charity's achievements and perforniance have been materially impacted by the
continuinb COVID-19 pandemic. FurttrLer, it És the opinion of the Trustees that the
pandernic will continue to ittwact on the operation, activitie5. and performance of th¢
Charity for many y&qrs to come.
In the twelve months eDding on 31 Match 2021. we acbieved the following results
(2020 figures are shown in bra¢k¢ts}.
210 (210) individual tnettthers
28 (28) group members. gii'ing othcr tharitoblc organisations

at B&5ildon was renewed. but wtth siwficanily rcduccd hou￿.
Thc Trustees believe thal notwithstanding the impact ot coviD
on the expecied hours provided to Basildoll CT, it continues to
provide a cost-effe¢tive appmach and l)oth orwdnisations benefit
from resulting synergics.
The legal Case bcing broU￿t by private operators against
Community Trdnspon service5 has been a positive outcom¢ for
all community tralls￿ operdtors enabling them to continue
SCTvices und¢r $￿tion 19 and 22 pcrmits.

COV1D-19- Business Operating Assumptions *nd Risk Ststement
Preface
The COVID-E9 pandemic continue5 to impact on the operation of the cbarity and will
cotLtinue to do so for the foreseeable fvnJr¢.
Operating FnFYronmen¢
In ihe current fiEtanctal year (l# April 2020 to 31* March 2021) all qualifving stsff
(with the exception of the CEO) We￿ fi￿lOughed and BCT has participated in thc
Government's Furlough (job relention) scheme. BCT havc colltinued io pay fvll
salaries to rclcyant 5tsff in excess of ihe value of the furlough payments, Ihereby
ensuring staff members suffered no immediate. undue, or unforeseen fu]ancial
hArdship.
Recent Developments
In early September 2020. the Brentwood ofYi¢e reopened and bus services have
resume¢ with a much-reduced capacity. All parts of thc business are operating under
the rcquired S￿la1 distancing provisions and r¢s￿l¢ll0n$. Visitors are cu￿entlY
dissuaded from entering the office and bus services operate with a limit oll the
m&ximum nLEmber of passengers allowed on EKiard at ally on¢ time. At the timc of
writing, and in k¢¢ping with Government guidelines. thw¢ are no plaDS for social car
journeys and day-trips to resume, certainly in the imm¢diate future. Volunteer5 tnay
possibly be invited back but this n)ay not be until later in the year. COVtD screcns
bave been installed in the office to protcct sthff along with appropriate PPE and hand
sanitisers. Where possiblc, wc have encourd8LII oifice stsff to work from home and
thc nccessary ¢quipmeThL such as laptop compui¢rs. were tnade available io ensure that
Ihey can do so. We conttnue to widertake additÈonal clea￿ltig on vehicles. and providc
hand sanitisers on all our vehicles. We are grdteful to the Rotary Club of Great Britsin
for a gift of£2.000 to help offscl som¢ ufth¢5¢ additional costs.
Immediate Challeng
The Trustees of Br¢Dtwood Community TrdnsFK)rt bclicye thAt, bowever challenging
current conditions are. the Charity provides an essential, viable service lo the local
comrnuDity and will continue to do over many years to come.
The Fmthre
The cwrent finaneial year is likely to remain £¥tr¢m¢ly wipredictsble. and remains
immensely challenging on tbe day-t(thy opwaliorts of the Charity. Th¢5c f¢strictions
either mandaled or voluntary aTe l&kely to remain in place for the foreseeable future
particularly given the age demographic and implicit vulnerably of our p&s5eng¢rs.

The Trustees have a policy of replacing vebicles once they approach the end of th¢ir
serviceable life, particularly when th¢ Costs of n]aintaining tbe vehicles becomes
siguificantly more expensive. The Trustees vehicle replacement tM)licy' reflects llot
only the twin realities of cost and delivery bul, additioDally. the ban on ihe sale of
p¢trol and diesel cars and vans from 2030 and hybrid-vehicles with significant (as yet
undefmed) zero emission capability from 2035. From 2035 only new pure electric or
hydrogen vehicles can bc sold. Thc Trustcrs plan to replace the fleet of dicscl busS¢S
currently in service, with lowl zero emission vehicles. Clearly this cannot happen all
at once and so this rcplacem¢nt policy will be expressed over a multi-ycar pcriod.
Key operatingAssumptions
The following key &8sumptions have been disCuss￿A and agreed by the BCT Trustees
as those D]ost rclcvant and pertinent to the Charity's bu5incss and the economic alld
social environment within which il operates. Th¢se assumptions are fimdament to th¢
futurc outlook And underpin the Charity'5 future business strategy.
l. Brentwood Couununiry Trdnsport provide5 an essential public service to the
residents of the Borough for whom the Chartty provides a unique life-line.
2. Brentwood Community Transwjrt is funde(L in parL by grants from Essex County
Council and Brentwood Borough Council. Thi5 financial support is expected to
contiDUe.
3. The service8 provided by the Charity will grnduklly be restored to PTe-COVID-19
Icvcls and PLss¢nger demand will in¢TW¢ however. with thc rcquirem¢nLs dictared by
social distanciD& all our services will have limited capacity for the foreseeable future.
4. As the rapid roll•OUt of v￿CInationS continues across ail ages of thc adult
population, we do not anticipate that there will be any furtber nationwide lockdowns
although some restrictions may exist at a regional Icvcl.
5. It is unlikely that COVID-19 will bc climinated enlir¢ly alld will likcly rcmain, in
circulation, for many year5. Informed opinion suggests that the global population will
have to learn to live with the iiTUS and accept thc limitations on activities that will
tesult.
6. Essex Pension Fund's Funding Strategy Staternent publi5h¢d in March 2020
onlained detailed inforniatioll on the state of thc Pcn5ion Fund The 5trdtegy
document notcd th
a) the long-lertn fijnding objective is to achieve and thcn maintsin assets equal to
100 /0 of the projected liabib"tie5 and th&4

b) in 2019, thc datc of thc last valuation. thc ￿ndIng P05Ttion wa5 such that ass¢ts
were 970/0 of projected liabilities. This is an exceptional result and suggests that
Essex Pension Fund is beller￿l￿g from pn￿ent investment adviee.
Thc Bcf Tru5tee5 believe that it is reasonoble to assum¢ that Employer contributions
to the pension fuad will remain manageable and affordable on an ongoing basis.
7. Bcf h&$ bcnefitted from furlough payM￿ts. for relevant staff rnembcr5, from the
Government's Job Rei¢ntion Scheme, GTants. and conc&8sionary fares pasrynents. At
the same time costs are lower salaries. fi￿1. & maintenance. We anticipatr thai this
will continue.
Key Operating Risk5
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review all risLs ￿ which the Charity is
cxposcd (positiv¢ and negattve) and carry out this duty and en5urc appropriate controls
are in place and any necessary action is tskcn to miiigaie such negative risks. Thesc
in¢lude strong governance, together with clear operating procedures, and, where
necessary, focussed training.
There are any number of risks to tbe operating assumptioDS list￿ Above. These
in¢lud¢, but are not limited to the ftillowing.
l. Our &ssumptions on ongoing funding from E&sex and Brentwood Councils. are
misplaced.
2. A new variant of the virus emerges that that pmv¢s r¢sistant to the current vaccines
ibat are currently available and being used. However. we believe that this would be
short lived as vaccines would b¢ adjusted ￿ figbt the properties of any such variant.
5. TnLStees believe thAt the reserve4 &$ set out in this rq)or¢ will be sufficient to
n)aintain thc cxisling services. Unexpected cxpenditures would mean that ourreserves
would fall at a faster rate than anticipated
6. Financial markets fall significantly and the Essex Pension fund suffers I￿ge falls i
&sset values that r¢sults in all al)ove expected incrca5c in Employer cotltributions.
FinancÉal Revfiew (figures for 2019120 are shown in brnck¢ts.)
This financial year produccd a surplus of £51.450 (compared to a dcficit of £5.453 in
the prior year).
Total income was £226.374 (£294,705). Total expenditure was £174.924 (£300,158).

The total fimds have incre&s¢d to £270,498 {£219.048) and COM￿ General Funds
of £254.071 (£191.613) and Designated Fixed Assets Fund r¢pr¢senting th¢ value of
motor vehicles after depreciation) of £16.427 {£27,437).
During the 2021121 fmanciat year. the Charity participat¢d in thc Govcrnment
Furlough Job Retention sch¢m¢ and all r¢l¢vanl staff received fijrlougb rclatcd
payments. The Trustees considered it imEM)rtant that staff members should not b¢
unfairly treated during the pandcmic and agt¢cd to pay thc diffcrcncc bctwccn thc
fiirlougb pa￿Dent received from the Government and the enwloyees Dorn)al pay. The
amount received in fi￿l0ugb payments. in thts period. was £49.862.
Resen'es Policy
Our current policy 15, in normal circumstances, to aim to maintain our reserves to
provide six months of cover. However. in the last year, the level of Gen¢ral Funds of
£254,071 expressed in relatton to expenditur¢ of £174.924 equates to $.3 month5 (18st
ycar 7.7 months).
Given the current climate, and with the uncertainty regarding COVtD-19 and an
unlikely return to more nonnal conditions, together the uncertainty of th¢ leN'el of
future ￿nding, the Tn￿t*S feel that the maintaining of a higher level of reserves is
Prudeni.
Trust¢cs b¢li¢v¢ that the reserves, as out in this rqx)ffj will provide sutyicicnt
resources to provide sufficient working capital for our needs and allow us not only to
maintain the existing services but ￿$0 io impl¢ment our plans to move to lowl zero
elljission vehicles.
Plans for tbe Future
In prior years we have looked for OP￿rtunitieS to increase and improvc the 5¢rvi¢es
we providcd to rcsid¢nts. However, in th¢ current climate, we believe that it is prudent
to focus more on maintaÈnin& a5 much as p05siblc, thc cxisting services. If and when.
Collditions improve. we may return to the Charity's long-standing objectives.
The Trustres have a policy of replacing vehicles once they approach the end of their
.qerviceable life, particularly when the costs of maiDtaining the vehicle5 kcomes
significantly mor¢ expensfftve. The Tn]stees plan to replace the fleet of diescl busscs
eutr¢ntly in servi¢e, with lowl zero emission vehicles. Clearly this Cal￿01 happen all
at oncc and so this rcplaccmcnt policy will be cxprcs5cd ovcr a multi-ycar pcriod.
The Trustees have been advised by Brentwo(NJ Borough Council thatthe Charity's use
and OC¢UPdlion of Pepperell H(AJse will cease. and new premiseg will be made
available within th¢ Bay Trce L¢ntre. Pepp¢rell Hou5¢ enjoys a uniquc location in
Bren￿ood high-stre¢t with a v¢ry favourable. and readily ac¢essible position. The

Trustees are concerned that a move, off the high sttE¢t, into the Bay Tree Centre will
erode some of these benefits and may result itk a reduction in donation5.
Structur& Governance and Management
The company IS governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association
ineorporaied on 2151 September 2(M)9 and subsequently amended by rosolution at an
Annual General Meetin& held ork 16th J￿Y 2012.
The Directors of the company are also ch￿lty TTh￿tee$ for the purposes of Charity law
and undcr the company's ATttcles ar¢ known as members of the Management
Committee. The Management Committee. together with tbc ChÉef Executiv¢ Officer,
meet at least four times a year. The Management Commitl¢e is responsible for thc
strat¢gi¢ direction and policy of the charity.
New Trustees arc sought cithcr through advcrti5cments in th¢ lo¢al press or intr(MJuced
via DCtworkiTtg and all applicants are interviewed. Skill5 matchillg forn￿ an important
part of the seleciion process. Three of our TTUStees arc Councillors for Brentwood and
provide invaluable local knowledgellinks. One of these. Keith Parker. was apw)inted
to the ￿ard by Brentwood Borough Cowicil.
The Chief Executiveofficer is responsible forthe day-to-day operational management
of the Clwity. At thc slart of the fllwicial year, thc Company employed two full time
staft: on¢ Chiel Executive Officer and an Assistant Covordittator. Eight Minibus
Dtivers together with onc Athninistrator were employal on a part time basis. In
addition to their strategic and gov¢rnan¢¢ roles, the Truslees support the operdtions
and the Chief Executive OtTicer through supervision and app]i￿tiOn of iheir expertise
in business. At the end of the f￿ancial year, the Company employed two fvll time staff
(Chicf Executive OtTicer and Assi5taTti Co-ordinator) and nine part tim¢ staff (two
Admull"straiors and seven MitLibus Drivcrs).
