FtNANCIAL REVIEW
SUPPORT AND FUNDING
We still WOLild like aiid really need lo tnovc away frorn dependeiice on fuiiding by the goveniment at both
local and i)ational level. However, at present, this still seems lo be an una¢hievablc goal. We have five
sources of income. Pass¢ng¢r far¢s, hirc chargcs for groLEP use of vehicles, donations from passeng¢rs and
family members, grants from support bodies and direct government funding.
Fares have been kept at the same level as they were last year. There is a need to achieve a realistic balance
between operating COSt4, particularly fu¢l, and what passengers Can afford to pay. Getting the balance
wroiig could result iii unaffordable losses or a reduction in passenger numbers. This enables Gostart to
continue providing transport for patients attending hospitsl appoinlmcnts. Gostart provides sen'ices For
p¢ople who do iiot Ineet the criteria set by hospital transport bodies such as the NEPT contactor for patient
trai)sport. This incliides West Suffolk, Papworth, Addenbrookcs, Ipswich aiid Colclicst¢r liospitals. Gostart
¢ive5 no financial help from the NHS or any other funders to support theses essential seri'i¢¢s.
Our larLy¢st singl¢ external funder is grant support from Suftolk County Council for Dial-a-Ride
door-to-door services and our accessible MPVS as a sub¢ontra¢tor to Hadleigh Community Transport.
Other funding support comes froin a number of sources..
* Babergh Distri¢t Council ￿]d Sudbury Town Council help with core costs. running costs aiid rates.
* Parish Councils in Monks Eleigh, Bildeston. Brent Eleigh and Waldingfields as support for 112 route.
* HMG through th¢ BSOG schcmc under which duty on bus fuel is refunded.
* His Majesty's Government and SCC with SUPFK)rt for bus fares.
W¢ also appreciate donations and small grants from..
* Local parish councils.
* Gift Aid from HM Government.
* Personal donalions from many local residents and passengers, families.
We acknowledge with grateful thanks th¢ support and help provided by all Ihose listed above and donations
from passengers and family members which on many occasions are "slipped quietl). to the driver li'ith far¢
money"
Gostart would like to express sincere thanks to all donors and ¢ontributors. Without all s'our help and
support we would not be able to continue op¢rating Gostart scryiccs for pcoplc living in tlic Sudbury. area.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND LWAGEMENT
ORC.Af4IsATIONAL STRUCTURE
Structure and Metnbersbip
Gostart is an independent voluntary body which has a local membership tnade up of individuals and other
nol-for-profit bodies and organisalions. Current individual membership stands at 694 members and 85 local
voluntary groups.
Location and Property
Gostart operates from Unit 6 in South Suffolk Business Centre, Sudbury where ￿'e have an office and
outdoor parking for our five vcl)icles. The office and parking area are all rented from Bab¢rgh District
Council via their managing agents, NWES.
Gostart People
Wc have thrcc part-time members of staff. Julie and Debbie provid¢ ¢ff¢cliv¢ manag¢ment of the office
including bookings, vehicle allocalion and all the general day-to-day office administration. Adam, our
maintcnancc maii, has been with Gostart for just over folir years . There are presently livo trustces and we
are currently looking for new, trustees to strengthen our team. All our 19 drivers are volunteers: we also
have a couple of volunteers who travel as passenger assistants.
It is with heaTry hearts that the Board of Trustees bas to report the sudden, unfortunate dea¢h of the
ChArity's foullder, John Phillips, on 15th April 2024. John was the public face and engine of Gostsrt
for 13 years, from when he founded the Charity until bis untimely death.
John work¢d tirelessly for the Charity and was well known and respected locally, ¢ounÈy-wid¢ and even
nationally, as an active member in the Community transport world. His Inany other interests aiid voluntary
service activities had to accotnmodate his Gostart roles, which included driving one of our vehicles. John
was oil duty ui)til the eiid.
Thc Trustc¢s rccognise that JOI￿ w'ill be a tough act to follow bul a¢c¢pl that ongoing cominilment to
community transport in Sudbury and rhe surrounding villages is an essential tribute to him and all his
¢florts. Going forwards. the Trustees will address sustainability without the found¢r, supported by all staff
and volunteers, and with input from partners such as the Community Transport Association and Community
Action Suffolk.
Vehicles
We ¢urr¢ntly own five vehiclcs, all adapted for use by our members/passengers. All are in good working
ordcr though sliowiiig signs of 'wear and tear" through continual daily use. We haN'e a gjood working
relationship with a garage in Sudbury which provides a regular programtne of inspection and service under
an agre¢tncnt wliich meets the standards required by the Drr for vehicles carying passeiigers. All current
vehicles are diesel powered, we are v¢ry aware of the need for replaccments in near future. During this
ycar, Gostart completed acquisition of the funding required to purchase our first electric pow¢red minibus.
We have selected the supplier, agreed the specification, placed thc order and anticipale delivery early in the
eThsuing fsnancial year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
RISK MANAGEMF.NT
The trustees recognise and understand their duty to recognise and tninimise any risks to which the charity is
exposed. The trustees have lo ensure thal appropriate supervision and controls are put in pla¢¢ in order to
provide reasonable assuran¢e against fraud or any actions which may cause datnage to the charity. We had
previously identified four primary risks for Community. Transport.
Here are some of the risks faced by all Community Transport operators and how we mitigate them.
Requirement for S19 3ind S22 Permits
We ciirrently have fiv¢ operating pem]its issued by Dft under section 19 and section 22 of the 1985 Road
Traffic Acl. All perniits are ciirrent with validity dates between 2026 and 2027. The%e pernlits cnable and
allow us to operate s¢rvices such as door-to-door Dial-a-Ride, MPV services largely foT patieiit transport to
hospltal, and one route registered with Traffic Commissioners.
Training of volunteers
Gosiart arrang¢s and funds traiTriThg for all volunteers. We use the MIDAS system for training drivers and
first aid training provided by a first respcjnder. Provision of training is an essential common-sense
r¢quir¢m¢nt but it is a significant recurriiig annual cost.
Driving licences and drivers, medieals
When drivers reach their 70th birthday they havc to undcrgo a medical before they apply for an updaled
liccnce which iiicludes the "D" category. Gostart pays th¢ medi￿1 fees for driv¢rs' m¢dicals since it has
been seen as unfair to expect volunteers to fund this themselves.
GDPR regulations
W¢ contiiiu¢ to do our best to maintain safe and s¢cure records in compliance with th¢ GDPR regulations.
Transport to GP'S and hospital appointments
Gostart aims to fulfil all thc requcsts and bookings made by local people for transport particularly where
medical appointmeiits are concerned. This often means providing seTrice where elderly and disabled
passengers are denied access lo NEPTSlhealth service transport.
SAFEGUARDING
The iiature of activilies and services provided by Gostart mean that all our drivers are in daily contact with
members of the publi¢ who may be al risk. Gostart is involved with a wide age range of passengers
including young ¢l)ildren and people well past retirement age. Amongst these passengers there are people
with eyesigjit problems, hearing problems, mobili15' problems and an increasing number sufferiiig from
various forms ofdementia. All Gostart volunteers have a current enhanced DBS document Th'hich has b¢¢n
registered on the DBS accessible document sile and is Lhe¢ked at regular intervals of no more than 2 years.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
To support risk management Gostart has developed and operates policies and operational procedures to
ensure that services provided are fit for purpose and saf¢ lo uqe. As at the lime this do¢um¢nt was produced
Gosiart had in place Ihc policies and procedures detailed iii the folloiving schedule..
Safety Issues:
Protection and safeg7uarding. Accident and incident reporting.
Lone Working Procedure.
Us¢ of ele¢tronic d¢vi¢¢s in v¢hicles.
