FINANCIAL REVIEW
SUPPORT AND FUNDING
We still would like and rtally n¢¢d to move away from d¢pendence on funding by the government at both
local and national level. However, at present this still seems to be an unachievable goal. W¢ have five
sources of income- passenger fares, htre charges for group us¢ of vehicles, donations from passengers and
family members, grants from support bodies and direct government funding.
During the year, Trustees took action to protect the sustainability of Gosiart operations. This included an
increase in passenger fares, the first for some years. The increase which averaged 150/0 was iEnplemented i
August 2024. Passenger feedback was only supportive, "still much cheaper than a iaxi" for &xatnple.
Our largest single external funder is grant support from Suffolk County Council for Dial-a-Ride door-to-door
services and our accessible MPVS as a subcontractor to Iladleigh Community Transport. Other funding
support comes from a number of sources..
* Babergh District Council and Sudbury Town Council help with core costs. running costs and rates.
* Parish Couticils of MoTdis Eleigh, Bildeston.Brent Eleigh and the Waldingfi¢lds, as support for 112 route.
* HMG Dff through the BSOG scheme, under which some of the cost of fuel is subsidised.
* His Majesty's GovertLtncnt and SCC with support for bus fares.
We also appffciate donations I small granls from:
* A few County and District councillors through their Locality Budgets.
* Personal donations from many l(K&l residents and passengers, famili¢s.
We acknowledge with grdteful thanks the support and help provid¢d by all those listed above and
particularly the donations from passengers and family members which on many ￿CasionS are "slipped
quietly to driver with fare rnon¢y"
Gostart would like to express sincere thanks to all donors and contributors. Without all your help and
support we would not be able to continue operating Gostart services for people living in the Sudbury area.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEIIqENr
ORGANISATIONAL STRucfiiRE
Structure and Membershi
Gostart is an independcnt voluntary body which has a local tnembcrship made up of individuals and other
not-for-profit bodics and organisations. Current individual membership stands at 838 mcTnbers and 89
local voluntary groups.
L4)CAtion and Pro
Gostart operates from Unit 6 in South Suffolk Business Centre. Sudbury. where we have an office and
outdoor parking for our six vehicles. The offi¢¢ and parking area are all rented from Babergh District
Council, via their managing agents. NWES.
Gostart Pe
le
At 31 January 2025 we had three part-time members of staff. Deborah and Julie provided effectiv¢
management of the offi¢¢ in¢luding b(ioking5, vehicle allocation and all the general day-to-day office
administration. Adam, ow maintenance man. has been with Gostart for just over five years. Julie retired
s￿￿ aft¢r the year end and the Trustees wish to record iheir thanks to her for 7 years of servtce to the
Charity and its m¢mbers. Melanie joined u5 in Mar¢h 2025 in Julic's place and we w¢lcome her and the
contribution she has already made.
There aTe four trustees and we are always looking for new trust¢¢s to strengthen our team. All our 19 drivers

Trustees reporled ihe unlimely death of ¢he Charity's Founder, Mr John Phillips. on April 15th 2024,
laslyear'5 annual reporl.
John worked tirelessly for the Charity and was well known and respected I￿￿11y, county-wide and even
nationally. as an active member in the Community Transport world. His Tnany other interests and voluntary
service activities had to accommodate his Gostart roles which included driving our vehicles when necessary.
on duty to the end.
To r¢pla¢e John in his dual rol¢ as both Founder Trustee and day-to4lay voluntary manager of Gostart
proved a complex task for the Trustees. Unable to identify another such volunteer, the Trustees absorbed
the duties and decided that they should appoint a part-tim¢ m4mager to take responsibility for day-to-day
issues. En this we acknowledge the support of Bab¢rgh District Council who made a Community Cirant
award of £1 0,000 toward ihis additional cost. Our first recruittnent failed, as the person apix)int¢d resigned
after a few weeks. The Trustees are pleased to welcome a ncw Operations Manager, who joined us in July
2025.
Vehicles
We currently own six vehicles, &ll adapted for use by our membenslpassengers. All are in good working
order though Tnost are now showing signs of "wear and tcar" Ihrough continual daily use. We have a good
working relationship with a garage in Sudbury which pmvides a regular programm¢ of inspe¢tion and
service under an agreement which meets the standards required by the Dff for vehicles carrying passengers.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees recognise and undcrstand their duty to recognise and minimtse any risks to which the charity is
exposed. The tnst¢es hav¢ to ensure that appropriate supervision and controls arc put in p5ace in order lo
provide reasonable assurance against fraud or any actions which may cause damage to the charity. W¢ had
previously identified four primary risks for Community Transport.
Here are some of the risks faced by all Community Transport operators and how Gostsrt mitigates them.
Requirement for S19 and S22 Pemits
We currently have Six op¢rating pemjits issued by Dff under section 19 and two under section 22 of the
1985 Road Tralyic Act. All permits are current with validity dates between 2026 and 2027. These pemjits
enable and allow us to opernte services such as door-to-door Dial-a-Ride, MPV services largely for patient
transport to hospitsl. and one route registered with Traffic Commissioners.
Recruitment and Training of volunteer&
Gostart is heavily dependent on recruiting sU￿1c]ent volunteer driver5 and p8ssenger assistants to maintain
its services. This can be problematic and is a continuing risk as almost all our voluntecrs are past ret1￿ment
age.
Gostart arranges and funds training for all volunteers. We use the CTA supported MIDAS system for
training drivers and first aid training is provided by a firsi responder as required. Provision of training is an
essential common-sense requirement but it is a significant reCU￿1Thg annual cost.
Driving licene&s and driver6, medi¢*]s
When drivers reach their 70th birthday they have to undergo a m¢dic&l before they apply for an updated
licence which includes the "D" category. Gostart pays the medical fees for drivers, medicals since it is seen
as unfair co expect volunteers to fund this themselves.
GDPR regulations
We continue to do our best to maintain safe and secure records in ¢ompliance with the GDPR regulations.
Transport lo GP'S and hospitsl appoÈntmeLts
Gostart aims to fulfil all the requ¢gts and bookings made by local people for transport, particularly where
medical appointments are concerned. This often means providing s¢rYice where elderly and disabled
passengers are d¢nied acce55 to NHS NEvf (Non-etnergency passenger transport.
SAFEGUARDING
The nature of activities and seryices provided by Gostart mean that all our drtvers are in daily Contsct with
members of the public who may be at risk.
GoSLth is involved with a wide age range of pass¢ng¢rs including young children and people w¢ll past
retirement age. Amongst these pass¢ngers there are people wtth eyesight problems, hearing problems.
mobility problems aTid an increasing number suffering from various fornis of dcmentia.
All Gostart Staff and volunteers have a current enhanced DBS document which has been registered on the
DBS accessible document site and As ch￿ked annually. Our safeguarding policy identifies thc Manag¢r as
the person responsible for monitoring safeguarding issues.
