Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	Lee ICANGO meets it charitable objectives, as demonstrated by the variety of bookings and breadth and diversity of groups that use our services. The public benefit is achieved as our minibuses are available to all community groups in Lee-on-the-Solent and surrounding areas within the county of Hampshire. We advertise in local magazines and in 2023 we will develop a digital presence with a social media page and website to raise awareness of the charity.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	Lee ICANGO is a not-for-profit community transport operator and its day-to-day running costs are covered from mileage charges, grants received and donations. The registration of gift aid has benefitted the charity in claiming back gift aid on donations. In 2023 Lee ICANGO signed up to the Gosport Community Lottery enabling supporters to purchase tickets at £1, 40p comes directly to the charity and the remaining goes to local good causes, from which Lee ICANGO can apply for grants.
Investment performance against objectives	Para 1.41	Our primary investment is in the maintenance and management of our assets i.e., community minibuses. In 2022-2023 the minibus fleet was reduced to 2 accessible Peugeot minibuses (Euro 6 compliant and lightweight - MAM 4250kg). This ensured that our outings and trips are compliant when entering local Low Emission Zones i.e., Portsmouth, and the London ULEZ. The Trustees will review the requirement for additions to the fleet based on bookings and utilisation of passenger capacity over the coming year. A contingency investment fund towards replacement vehicles will be maintained and where possible increased through fundraising, gifts and grants.
