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. 

Not applicable 

## **Further financial review details: (optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:: 

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) 

How expenditure has 

The main source of funds is received from the users for each trip undertaken. 

A small grant was received from Nottinghamshire County Council, which has helped to  support the provision of items for drivers to help with any needs of the users.  This grant does need to be applied for each year 

A number of nominations have also been received from the Gusto Community Fund which has seen an additional £1,500 received.
