Policy on grant making Contribution made by Volunteers
We are grateful for the many hours volunteers have spent in delivering in particular the transport scheme for the benefit of the users. Without this valuable contribution of time and energy we would have been unable to provide as much transport to the many users for either medical appointments or other essential journeys
Achievements and performance:
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year.
The charity has continued to deliver the transport service to those who request it, with only the rarest of occasions being unable to provide transport at the required day/time.
The successful recruitment of an additional co-ordinator has helped spread the workload of the role, allowing for some time away from the phone.
Passenger trips continue to increase but as yet have still not returned to pre-covid levels.
A complete review of the charges has seen the % mileage recovered reduce, but the generosity of users and other members of the community has seen donations cover this shortfall
Financial Review:
Brief Statement of the charity’s policy on reserves.
Details of any funds materially in deficit
All monies are held in unrestricted funds. The main financial risk is the loss of funding from NCC and reduced donations. Any funds held are to ensure that operations cost can be covered in the event of a loss of income and to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur.
