serYi¢es aimed at allevsatirjg need and hardship in Bath and NoTth East Somerset (BANES) and the 5urroullding areas.
To achieve this purpos¢ the charity pursues the following obj¢ctiv¢s=
To provide tram5POrt to access services and activiues
To support tackling loneliness in our cottjmunities, including through transport service5
To provide advice
To work with other agencies to target services and improve acces5 to services
To maintain the process of organisational development
TD establish continuous str¢gms of fvnding for Swall's work
Organi￿tIOnAl Development
Swan r¢views its acliviues ¢￿h year looktng at what we havg achieved and the outcomes of our work. The review
looks at the success of each pctiviry and the b¢nefits brought to the people we are set up to help. We have ref¢rred to the
infomiation conthined ill the Charity Commission's gen¢Tal guidanc¢ on public benefit when reviewing our aims and
objeclives and in planning our future activities.
This y¢ar our member of stsff who had be¢n taken on for our Yo¥mg Volunteer's Proj￿1. transferred to the new Tole of
Development Offi¢¢r when the funding for our Young Volunteers work came to an end in July. We obtained a
Eiesilience Grant to futtd this p051tion for 6 month5 and she reduced her hours from 30 to 25 per week. In November, we
were presented with aD award for Innovation in VolutLteering from Th¢ Community Transport Association for our work
with young volunteers.
Our Transport Administrator in l¢ft us in Augu5L A DCW m¢mber of staff started it5 October. but the Development
Offirxr was needed tts help with frontline bookings throughout the transition period and while th¢ Administrator was
le8rnuJg the rope5. This has hampered some of the dev¢lopments we were hoping to make during this financial y¢ar, but
decided to mak¢ the position of D¢velopment Officer pernianent.
In the last quarter of the financial year. we becam¢ awar¢ that the trnstees of the buildin8 we occupy, and that is our
reoistered charity address, were facing some diffieulties. We started at that point therefore to 5&arch for other oifice
premises that wc might be abl¢ to Telocate to, and started to clear 20 years of history that had gathered in our existing
office. The tW5tees present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2024.
We took on a self employed ￿ndraiser from F¢bnwy ￿ a piloL This has meant that more ttme ￿Uld be devottd ttTr
findin8 fuThding than the CEO was able to give.
HOTY our Activities Deliver Pllblic Benefit
The summary of Swall's main activities and those we help 15 below. Our purpose limit5 the seThirxs we provid¢ to
residents in BANES and the surrounding are&8 and our funding limits the number of people we can help. Our services
are provided free to our clients although we a¢cept donations towards the costs of our transport jovmey5.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Achievement and P¢rformanee
Volllnteer Transport Scheme
SwatL'$ transpon falls into 3 projects.. Supporting People. Community Transport and Access to ￿￿[th. The Supporting
People project provides trènsi)ort to enabk cli¢nts of Social Services to a¢cess & range of activities. whether it b¢
shopping or attending a luncheon Club. day care or further edU￿tiOn. It is also used to enable disabled people on low
income to acc¢ss actiwties that they would not otherwise b¢ able to get to. The Access io Health project enab1¢5
pa55engers to get to health related appointments and this year has agatn included journey5 to Covid vaccinations, and
Collununity Transport cover5 any other destinations.
In total Swan's tr3n5POrt service has undertaken 4187 journeys thig year, whith is about 20/0 lower than the previous
year, and still only 83 0/0 of the pre COVID level. The BANES funded Supporting People transport undertook 2133
journeys-
a 40/0 increase on last year. Swan undertook 915 health related journeys (a I 50/0 fall on last year when there
was Still more of a demand for COVID vaccinatEon journeys) and 1161 oth¢r journeys which is about the same as
last year. Swan ha8 ayeraged 349 journeys per month .
Young Voluntsers Project
This pilot proj¢ct is funded by the Dep8rtnent of Transport. through the Community Tronsport Association. Swan is
one of 18 proj¢cts funded looking ai Ta¢k]ing Ltsnelines5 and Iso174tion Through Transport. Our project intention was
to engage those young people aged between 18 and 25 and experi¢ncing som¢ i501ation, 10 volunteer with Swan.
Fitiding and engaging these young people was been ¢h211engiDg and the project evolv¢d from the original idea of
volunteer drivers. Those who Could drive and had a car were less likely to be isolated themselves. Only one of the
young volunteers had a car and has been driving for us. The other volunteers have b¢en involved with meeting our
pass¢ri8ers and helping at Cuppa and Chat. and helping in the oifice. The volunt¢¢rs have given their comTneThts on our
website. and one ha5 been involved in planning the layout and Content of Swan's new w¢b%ite for next year.
Cuppa and Cbat
This proj¢rt Is an opportunity to bring Swan's lon¢ly and isolated passengers together. We have held meetings thts year
¢very 2 or 3 weeks with up to 16 pa5senger5 attending. We hav¢ used 8 local community minibus to help with some of
the tran5POrt. At the end of this f￿ancIal year that minibus charity folded. and the rninibus passed to the local Age UK
who still allow us to l)ire tbe bus whenever a driver is available. The ￿InIbU5 charity trust¢es chose Swan as one of th¢
benefaciof5 of their money wh¢n the charity ¢10sed. We have 18 active participants in Cuppa and Chat. 16 live alone,
and 4 ère visually impaired. Swan us¢5 a local café of another charity as our main venue for Cuppa and Chat with trip5
to other local cafes in the area for some vari¢ty. This year the young volunteer5 from our projecr haye been involyed
with Cuppa and Chat and our passengers have enjoyed their ¢ompany. The young volunteers hoskd a 5ucce55ful
afternoon tea with passengers favourite music. Other treats have included children from a IIKJ pre School visiting and
spendintw titne at Cuppa and Chat which everyone really enjoyed.

Use olVolunte¢rs
Swan has had 33 drivers regist¢rBd with us, though 6 had been off long term by the end of th¢ financial year. In any
on¢ month we had a maximum of 29 drivers actively tnvolved. We have welGomed 8 JJew drivers. and 6 drivers left
during the year, some tor health re&sons. In addition to our Young Volunteers who have helped wtEh Cuppa and Chat
and some drivtng. we have had an administration volunteer working in the office for 4 hours a week. Our 5 tr￿teel
are volunteers who give up their time to attend meetings and to oversee Swan's progress.
Fin*n¢lAI Revlew
Incoming resource5 for the year amounted 10 £142.617 and ¢xpenditure was £lJ8,137.
Rt5erYes Pollcy
The Executive Cornmitt¢e has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or ittvesled in tangible
fixed assets (the free regervES) held by the charity should be ai least 3 months operating costs {circa £33.000) and are
now designated for this purpose. General fimd in 2023124 was £13,020.
In addition, Swan has est#blished designated funds for a sickness res¢rve (£3000) and redundancy provision for a worse
case scenario (£282361. This represents a reserves target of £66236. At this level the Executive Committee feels that
Swan would be able to continue the usual a¢tivities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in ￿ndIng. Were that
to occur, li would obviously be llecessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activitie5 chang¢d-
Risk Review
A review of those risks that We￿ identified as 'high' was updated in August 23. The major risks ts) funding are being
addressed by seeking oppornnities io diversify a¢t5Vities. such as the work on loneliness, and so open up the p05sibitity
of wider funding sourr¢s. Internal risks are minimised by the impleTnentation of procedure5 for authorisation oFall
transactions aTrd prOJ￿ts and to ensure consistent quality of delivery of all operational aspects of the charity. These
pnKedures are periodiGally renewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the ctwity. A detailed financial policy
der￿eS clear finan¢ial respoitsibility, 5afeguard5 and ac¢ountabilsty.
Plans for the Future
Swan will continue to do what is required to maintain its transport services and contacts with clients and wups that
make referra15 to our %erYice5. Swan will further the dev¢lopment of ideas as to how Swan can develop its services and
Contribute to tackling loneliness. These plan5 include effort to-.
Ensure our transport service eyolves to meet any new demands
recruit more drivers to ¢Dsur¢ our abiliry to meet demand
onttnue to explore new sowces of fi￿ding
extending Cuppa aDd Chat sessions
evaluate how these sessions can link to other ￿tiVItieS, pOssi￿lY supported by other charities and organisations in
