Little Green Bus Limited Trustees Report For The Year Ended 31st March 2025
## 1. Little Green Bus Ltd - Report of the trustees for the year ending 31 March 2025
The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the consolidated accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities.
## 2. Chair’s report
This year has been a successful one, with the services of Little Green Bus proving ever popular and essential to a great number of our members, who without our services, would be prisoners in their own home. Our work with the Lancashire Community Transport Consortium is positive and with our four consortium partners, we have managed to achieve the many targets set by Lancashire County Council. We believe that the breadth and accessibility of our services will demonstrate without any doubt the public benefit that our work brings to the community. At a time when much focus continues to be placed upon reducing loneliness and isolation by providing access to services, Little Green Bus is at the forefront of developments within the Borough and Lancashire as a whole to ensure that as many people as possible benefit from Community Transport Services. We are particularly appreciative of our increased financial standard achieved as a direct result of our Chief Executive, Adrian Clarke not only putting Little Green Bus at the Head of the Consortium but also by him looking for new opportunities to grow Little Green Bus and also reducing expenditures. The work funded by The Big Lottery Reaching Communities, to set up group transport and a volunteer car scheme in one of our surrounding Boroughs, Hyndburn as well as enabling continuous growth of existing services in the Ribble Valley is going very well. The buses have enabled us to provide enhanced levels of comfort to our mainly elderly passengers as well as improving our professional image.
In closing, I would like to thank our finance and admin officer Fiona Byrne, without whom it would not have been possible for our CEO to put us in the position that we have achieved by enabling him to spend copious amounts of time managing the consortium contract, bidding for grants and putting community transport firmly on the map locally and regionally, whilst they ensured that the services were maintained to the highest possible standards. I should also like to thank my fellow Trustees for their time, support and dedication to ensuring that Little Green Bus Limited (Little Green Bus) is managed with the utmost due diligence and commitment to making a real difference to the lives of our passengers.

```
To demonstrate an active commitment towards continuous improvement.
```

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees
have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the
guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’. Little Green Bus relies on
grants and the income from fares and charges to cover its operating costs.
```
```
Affordability and access to our services is important to us and is reflected in our

Trustees Report (Continued)
For The Year Ended 31st March 2025
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
```
## _**`4. The services that we provide`**_
## _**`Dial-a-Ride`**_
```
The dial-a-ride services are currently provided for people who are unable to access
public transport due to its non-existence or mobility restrictions. Income is
derived through support from LCC and from small fares from passengers. This
service has grown in popularity over the last few years due to the high standards
of customer service provided, which is evidenced in customer satisfaction surveys.
```
## _**`Group Transport`**_
```
This service has increased over the last few years, with word of mouth
recommendation and repeat business being the main marketing points. Little Green
Bus has been developing good working relations with local community groups in
providing transport services for a variety of reasons.
```
## _**`Educational services`**_
```
The opportunity to provide services is available through individual ad hoc
agreements with schools for curriculum trips to local businesses, sporting
activities and extended school activities, a potential growth area as schools
endeavour to meet national policy requirements. MiDAS (Minibus Drivers Awareness
Scheme) training continues to be provided for teachers who drive school minibuses.
Further marketing is needed to make all local schools aware of the services that
Little Green Bus can provide.
```
## _**`Health Services`**_
```
There has been an increasing demand for transport to and from medical appointments
and Little Green Bus is ideally placed to meet this demand with clear benefits to
all involved parties. The service is valued by patients and doctors and results in
better access to services.
```
```
It is widely recognized that the benefits to passengers of being able to continue
to live independently and get their weekly shopping even though they are displaying
signs of illnesses such as dementia are far reaching. Providing access to key
medical services via our volunteer car scheme is also believed to result in a
reduction in missed appointments and in the take up of the valuable time of health
professionals as patients are delivered safely and efficiently to appointments.
```

Trustees Report (Continued)
For The Year Ended 31st March 2025
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
```
## _**`Social Services`**_
```
Little Green Bus continues to have links with Social Service who refer people to
our services and who we contact should concerns about individuals warrant it.
```
## _**`5. Our volunteers`**_
```
Little Green Bus is very privileged in that it benefits from the support and
commitment of over 30 volunteers who assist with driving and supporting our
passengers thus enabling us to keep our costs as low as possible. We are much
indebted to our volunteers without whom Little Green Bus would simply not survive
and best endeavours are always made to ensure that our appreciation is shown to our
volunteers as well as ensuring that they receive the training and support that they
require to successfully carry out their volunteering with us.
```
## **`6. Achievements and performance`**
```
Maintaining a balance between passengers paying fares, accessibility for those of
modest means, the encouraging of new passengers and development of new services as
well as maintaining a financial balance is an ongoing challenge. Our key financial
aim remains a financially sustainable service and we remain very grateful to our
funders for their support.
```
## _**`7. Our pricing policy`**_
```
Our pricing policy reflects our strategy of enabling all within our community,
whatever their means, to access our services if they need them and are eligible for
them.
```
```
Dial-a-Ride is charged at £5, trips further afield are charged at £12. Annual
membership fees are £20, broken down into twice yearly payments of £10 following
passenger feedback. Buses with volunteer drivers are available to local community
groups at fair prices and Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme (MiDAS) training is
available to individuals and groups at competitive prices.
```
## _**`8. Reserves policy and going concern`**_
```
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income
and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. The trustees
consider that the current level of six month’s reserves both meets the Charity
Commission’s S.O.R.P. (Statement of Recommended Practice).

## **`13. Structure, Governance and Management`**
## _**`Governing Document`**_
```
Little Green Bus Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its
Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 21 December 2010. It is registered as
a charity with the Charity Commission.
```
## _**`Trustee induction and training`**_
```
New trustees undergo induction to the organisation, its services and funders
informing them of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the
committee and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial
performance of the charity. During the induction session they meet key employees
and passengers by undertaking journeys with them to gain first-hand experience and
information regarding the services.
```
## _**`Organisation`**_
```
The board of trustees, which can have up to six members, administers the charity.
The board normally meets quarterly and there are separate responsibilities within
the Board for overseeing finance and audit and human resources.
```
```
A Chief Executive Officer/Manager is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-
to-day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief
Executive Officer/Manager has delegated authority, within terms of delegation
approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and
the development of new services as well as bids for grants to support existing and
new services.
```
## _**`Related parties and co-operation with other organisations`**_
```
None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the
charity.
```
```
Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity with a competitor
or funder must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any
other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such
related party transactions were reported.
```
## _**`Risk management`**_
```
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
```
`1. an annual and ongoing review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces;`
`2. the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and`
`3. the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.`
```
Attention has also been focussed on non-financial risks arising from health and
safety of passengers. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to
date, having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular awareness
training for staff working in these operational areas.

Little Green Bus Limited Trustees Report (Continued) For The Year Ended 31st March 2025
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements The charity trustees (who are also the directors of Little Green Bus for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure and use of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
1. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
4. state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
5. prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
| The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## Statement as to disclosure to our accountant
- In so far as the trustees are aware at the time of approving our trustees’ annual report: 1. there is no relevant information, being information needed by the accountant in connection with preparing their report, of which the company’s accountant is unaware, and
- 2. the trustees, having made enquiries of fellow directors and the charity’s accountant that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant financial information and to establish that the accountant is aware of that information.

The trustees, who are also the company's directors, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.

The charity's gross income is less than £250,000. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: ~ examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act ~ to follow the procedure laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7) (b) of the 1993 Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

```
1b. Income recognition policy
```
```
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all the following
criteria are met:
```
-
- `The charity has entitlement to the funds`
- `Any performance conditions attached to the item of income has been met or are fully within the control of the charity`
- `There is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and`
- `The amount can be measured reliably.`
```
1c. Interest receivable
```
```
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be
measured reliably by the charity; this is normally on notification of the interest
paid or payable by the bank.
```
## `1d. Fund accounting`
```
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the
purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be used for
particular areas of the charities work.
```
## `1e. Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT`
