2024. The report complies with the Charities Act 201 l and the Companies Act 2006,
the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Accounting and Reporting by
Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 published

Brief History
Brentwood Community Transport (BCT) was officially fornied in May 2001 and
operated under the umbrella of Essex County Council. In 2009, the organisation
became independent and a charity. The new organisation was first registered at
Companies House in September 2009, and a charity in March 201 O. It began ITadin8
al the beginning of March 201 O when all employees transferred from Essex County
Council to the new organisation.
Objectives and Activities
In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the
Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. All income received by
the charity has been applied to the provision of the charity's aims.
Th¢ BCT'S principal objectives can be summarised as follows:
To uphold the principles of the Charity, Namely:
To provide transport options for anyone who, for whatever reason, is
unable to use mainstream public transport. These reasons include but
are nol limited to age, illness or geographical isolation.
To assist the charitable work ot. organisations engaged in promoting
social benefits for such persons through the provision of appropriate
transport solutions.
To help minimise social ¢xclusion, by providing affordable mobility
accessible transport solutions to needy individuals, and to provide
sustainable transport solutions to community statutory and non-
statutory organisations.
The main activities comprise the following:
Accessible Vehicle Service- designed for the residents of Brentwood
who are unable to access a standard vehicle due to disability.
Minibus Brokerage - consists of a pool of vehicles, providing groups
with an option of using a vehicle when required without the expense
of owning and running a vehicle themselves.

Social Car Scheme - a service providing local journeys for residents
who can access a standard vehicle but are unable to use public
transport.
808 Registered Bus Route - A local registered Section 22 bus route
providing transport for members of the public giving access to
Brentwood Community Hospital and local shopping services in
Brentwood.
MIDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) training.
St Helens School - Working in partnership with the parents of children
attending St Helens school. Providing school transport for rurally
isolated children attending St Helens School and unable to access
public transport.
Achievements and Performance
In the 12 months to 31 March 2024, the Charity continued to experience a recovery
from the COVED 19 pandemic and have returned to full services. The Social Car
service has been impacted by several factors not limited to the HMRC Approved
Milage Allowance payment {AMAP) rate of reimbursement to volunteers has not
been amended since 2021. Motoring cost are now 41.8 % higher than in 2012, an
inflation uplift is long overdue to keep payments to BCT volunteers affordable. This
along with increase in cost of living in today's economic climate is reducing the
number of volunteers available. We are actively promoting volunteer roles within
our organisation on all social media platforms and local forums.
Our Group transport has not retumed to pre covid l¢vels mainly due to several local
groups disbanding post covid. We have space for growth in this area of which we are
advertising our services within the local community groups. We do provide training
but there are legal restrictions on vehicle licences limiting who can drive our bigger
vehicles.
In the twelve months ending on 31 March 2024, we achieved the following results
(2023 figures are shown in brackets).
162 (160) individual members
12 (1 O) group m¢mbers> giving other charitable organisations access
to transportation for their events.
46,756 (42,919) passenger joumeys for the residents of Brentwood.
St Helens School Service - For the children of St Helens School who
are rurally isolated and unable to access public transport. This service
was set up in partnership with the parents of the children travelling on
the service.
35,199 (30,354) passenger journeys undertaken on the 808 Brentwood
Community Hospital Shuttle Bus Service.

Essex Community Foundation
Malcolm & Beryl Crook fund
provided funding to help support the 808 Brentwood Community
Hospital Shuttle Bus Service.
Both Essex County Council and Brentwood Borough Council funding
was maintained for a further year at the same level as in the previous
year. However, the contract terni was reduced from three years to one
The a&Freement with Basildon Community Transport Services to
provide cover for the role of Chief Executive Officer at Basi Idon was
renewed. The Trustees believe that the contract with Basildon CT
provides a cost-effective approach and both organisations benefit
from resulting synergies. However, it is antiLipated that Basildon CT
will recruit additional staff members and this arrangement may be
teminated.
Business Opernting Assumptions and Risk Statement
Preface
The current and future operating environment remains very challenging for the
Brentwood Community Transport Charity.
Operailng Envlronmenl
Whilst financial impact of the COVTD 19 pandernic has all but diminished, the cost-
of-living crisis continues to have a material impact on passenger numbers.
Receni Developmenls
The demand on our 808 Brentwood Community FIospital Shuttle Bus has seen a
significant increase in passenger numbers, they now exceed pre-pandemic levels. In
November 2021 we increased our services for the parents of the children of St Helens
school and added another vehicle to provide saf¢ accessible transport to school. The
demand for this service is still high and helping to reduce the congestion of v¢hicles
in Sawers Hall Lane which is an increasing problem within our local area.
We have been very successful in bidding for funds for Essex Community Foundation
the Malcolm and Beryl Crook Fund with funding toward the support of the 808-bus
service.
We continue to have a shared CEO agreement with Basildon Community Transport
which is an additional source of income and shared knowledge.
During this period, we were tsrgeted by criminals who stole one of our vehicles, this
caused disruption to our valued services. We have now ensured all our vehicles have
fitted trackers giving real time inforniation. The insurance company have awarded a
settlement for the vehicle and the future is to buy a future like for like second hand
vehicle.

We have taken delivery of our new low floor Tucana bus to work on our scheduled
808 bus serving the Brentwood Cornmunity Hospital. This has been achieved with the
help and support of Essex Community Foundation 'Malcolm and Bery Crook Fund in
recognition of the funding the bus has been named 'Beryl' and is now running in
service.
The Trustee board has experienced changes. Two new Trustees have joined the Board.
After many years of service, David Minns has stepped down as Trustee and Chairnian,
and a new Chaimian has been elected in his place. The Trustees and staff of the
Brentwood Community Transport ar¢ grateful for David Minn, s hard work and service
over many years.
The Department for Transport have introduced Bus Servers Operators Grant +
This scheme has been effective from 11312023 and is intended to support the reform
and consolidation of bus funding with the aim of developing long-temi sustainability
in the bus funding sector. It will run until 3113125. This assists with our section 22 808
local registered bus route
Immedlale Challenges
The Trustees of Breniwood Community Transport believes that the Charity provides
an essential service to the local cornmunity and hope that this will continue over many
years to come. However, our two main finding sources Essex County Council and
Brentwood Borough Council are both under significant financial pressures. In 20241
25, ECC revenu¢s are expected to be £19.6 million of which just 50/0 is funded from
the Government, 60% from Council Tax, and 35 % from business rates. As a resul¢
ECC and BBC both have a strong focus on costs. This is likely to continue.
The Fulure
The operating environment remains challenging, Although the rats of change of
inflation has fallen sincc the peak of I 1,1 %, the price level remains elevated, and the
cost-of-living crisis remains a key headwind in our operating environment and future
planning horizon.
operaling Assumpilons
The following key assumptions have been discussed and agreed by the BCT Trustees
as those most relevant and pertinent to the Charity's business and the economic and
social environment within which it operates. These assumptions are fundamental to
the outlook and underpin the Charity, s future business strategy.
l. Brentwood Community Transport provides an essential public service to the
residents of the Borough for whom the Charity provides a unique and important
lifeline.

2. Brentwood Community Transport is funded, in part, by grants from Essex County
Council and Brentwood Borough Council. This financial support is expected to
continue.
3. The services provided by the Charity continue be restored towards pre-COVID-19
levels and we expect passenger demand to continue to increase.
4. The ongoing cost-of-living crisis means that passenger numbers may remain low.
6. Higher employer pension contributions and increases in National Minimum Wages
continue to fomi a significant cost to th¢ Charity.
Key Operating Risks
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review all risks to which the Charity is
exposed (positive and negative) and carry out this duty and ensure appropriate controls
are in place and any necessary action is taken to mitigate such negative risks. These
include strong governance, together with clear operating procedures, and, where
necessary, focussed training.
There are any number of risks to the operating assumptions listed above. These includ¢
but are not limited to the following.
l. Our assumptions on ongoing funding from Essex and Brentwood Councils are
wrong.
2. Trustees believe that the reserves, as set out in this report, will be sufficient to
maintain the existing services. Unexpectedly higher expenditures L'ould mean that our
reserves would fall at a faster rate than antiLipaied.
2023124 - Financial Review (figures for 2022123 are shown in brackets.)
This financial year produced a surplus of £23,460 compared to a surplus of £52,468
in the prior year. However, this surplus arose, almost entirely. from the insurance
settlement in respect the vehicle that was stolen and the sale of an old vehicle which
had passed its useful service life and would likely experience an increase in the cost
of maintenance and repairs. The Trustees have tasked the CEO to explore the
possibility of purchasing a second-hand vehicle to replace the one that was siolen.
Given, the new vehicle 'Beryl' has entered service, there are no plans to replace the
vehicle sold.
On the expenditure side, staff costs have increased quite significantly. This is due to
significant increases in the National Minimum Wage and salary increases for other
staff. Whilst we are extremely careful to manage cost increases generally, with respect
to wages/ and salaries, the significantly higher inflation experienced since 2021 has
not been helpful. Whilst the year-on-year change in inflation has moderated, the

overall price level remains elevated. There was an increase in motor vehicle repairs
and servicing costs. There were significant difficulties in the procurement of the new
motor vehicle 'Beryl'. Initially, there were difficulties in sourcing a suitable chassis
from Volkswagen. Finally, one was sourced and was duly sent away for conversion.
On arrival at the garage, it became apparent that it was the wrong chassis. This was a
significant problem, and it became obvious and necessary to appoint Abbots in a
consultancy capacity to source a chassis. After many hours work and numerous
telephone calls, a suitable chassis was sourced. The cost of this consultancy was
£10,535, and the professional help and advice received saved a lot of money. It is our
practice to depreciate fixed assets for the first 60 monthsl five years after entering
service. After five years there is no further charge for depreciation. The arrival of the
new minibus ' Beryl, meant that the cost of depreciation was much higher in 2023124
than in the prior year(s).
Totsl income was £320,247 (£313,680). Total expenditure was (£296,787) (£261,212)
Total funds increased to £343,520 (£320,060) comprising General Funds of £263,978
(£317,529) and Designated Fixed Assets (representing the value of Motor vehicles
after depreciation) of £79,542 (£2,532).
Reserves Policy
Our current policy is, in normal circumstances, to aim to maintain our reserves to
provide six months of cover. In this financial year the level of General Funds of
£263,978 expressed in relation to expenditure of £296,787 equates to 10.7 months
(14.6 months). However, the planned purchase of a replacement vehicle highlighted
in the Financial Review will reduce this figure in future years.
Trustees believe that the reserve.8, as set out in this report, will provide sufficient
resourLes to provide sufficient working capital for our expected needs.
Plans for the Future
We continue to look for opportunities to increase and improve the services we provide.
to residents.
Structure, Governfdnce and Management
The company is govemed by its Mernorandum and Articles of Association
incorporated on 2 1st September 2009 and subsequently am¢nd¢d by resolution at an
Annual General M¢¢ting* held on 16 July 2012.
The Directors of the company ar¢ also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law
and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Management
Committee. The Management Committee, together with the Chief Executive Officer,
meet at least four times a year. The Management Committee is responsible for the
strategic direction and policy of the charity.

New Trustees are sought either through advertisements in the local press or introduced
via networking and all applicants are interviewed. Skills matching forms an important
part of the selection process.
The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day-to-day operational management
of the Charity. At the start of the financial year, the Company employed two full time
staff: one Chief Executive Officer and an Assistant Co-ordinator. Seven Minibus
Drivers together with one Administrator were employed on a part time basis. In
addition to their strategic and governance roles, the Trustees support the operations
and the Chief Executive Officer through supervision and application of their expertise
in business. At the end of the financial year, the Company employed two full time staff
(Chief Executive Officer and Assistant Co-ordinator) and nine part time staff (two
Administrators and six Minibus Drivers).
Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities
The Trustees are required to prepare financial ststements for each financial year, which
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the
incoming resources and application of resources, including th¢ net income or
expenditure, for the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are
required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to
any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial
statements. and
Prepare the financial statements on a going-concern basis unless it 18
inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose
with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company
and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the
Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the
charitable company and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection
of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the Financial Statements - Year Ended 31 March 2024
Aceounting PolRcies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in
accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement Of Recommended
Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial
Reporting Standard FRS 102 published in September 2015 and comply with the
Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and the Companies Act 2006.
Ineome and endowments
Incorne from donations and grants, including capital grants, is recognised when there is
evidence of entitlement, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably, except
as follows:
a) when donors specify that donations and grants given to the charity has a time related
condition and must be used in futur¢ accounting periods, the income is deferred until those
periods.
b) when donors impose pre-conditions, which must be fulfilled before the charity becomes
entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the p￿-condItIOnS have been met.
When donors specify that donations and grants, including capital grants, are for a particular,
restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlemenL this
income is included in incoming resources as restricted funds when receivable.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual's basis. VAT is generally not included in
expenditure as VA T is recoverable on the basis that passenger transport is zero-rated. Some
expenditure, however, is outside the scope of VA T and as this VAT is not recoverable it is
included in expenditure.
Governance
These costs relate to compliance with statutory requirements.
Depreciation
Major expenditure on tangible fixed &ssets costing over £500 will be capitalised. The cost of
other items is written off as incurred.
15

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of the asset, less its estimated residual
value, over the useful economic life of that asset on a straight-line basis as follows:
Annual Rate
otrice equipment 33.33 150%
Furniture & fittings 200/0
Motor vehicles
21P/o
Taxation
The company is a charity within the meaning of section 505 of the Income and Corporation
Taxes Act 1988. Accordingly, the company can claim relief from taxation in respect of
income or capital gains received, to the extent that such incorne or gains are applied to
exclusively charitable purposes.
The majority of our transportation income is zero rated with regard to VAT. This is in line
with VAT Notice 744A March 2002 which allows zero raiing when the vehicles us¢d are
designed or adapted to carry not less than ten passengers,
