GOSTART COMMULNITY TRANSPORT LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07489822) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026 FINANCIAL REVIEW SUPPORT AND FUTr4DITrIG During the 2025-26 year, Trustees have continued to apply for fundin¥ from nei¥ sources. The Charity reccived income from fares and donations which cover about a third of operating costs. Fares are kept low as our passengers are mostly older people and the disabled who see OUT services as an alternative to bus services, not, for example, as taxi services. Far¢s were last increased in 2024 and another. small¢r in¢rease was implemented on April I sl. 2026. Another third of our expenditure is funded by regular ants for the Public Sector. Central tiov¢rnm¢nt funds a statutory grant of operators of Bus S¢rvices. Our County Council operates a scheme that provides funding for all Operators in Suffolk that support their "Conne¢lii)g Communities" project. Ea¢h year, Gostart bids for funding from our Town and District Councils which bids, though amounts vary, are usually successful. Support on a smaller, but important scale. also comes from approaches to Inany of the IParish Councils whose parishioners benefit from the Serves provided by Gosiart. We partieularlv welLome support from a number of Individual Local Governm¢nl Councillors who use part ot their locality budgets to support our services or projects that operate in their CoTnmui)ity. In recognitioll of ihe importance of this support , here is & lisl of some of the regular public se¢tor sour¢es who continue to Support Gostart.. UK Government Bus Service Operators Grant Suffolk County Council Connecting Cotnmunities Babergh Dzstri¢l Council Sudbury Town Council External funding coiitinues lo be important lo the sustainability of Goslart. During 2025-26, Ihanks are due to ihe following organisation that, when approached for additional supporl. granted funds..

GOSTART COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LTD {RKGISTERED NUMBER: 07489822) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE Structure and Membership Gosiart is an independent voluntary b(xly which has a local membership made up of individuals and other not-for-profit bodies and organisalions. Currcnt individual membership stands at 802 members and 80 local voluntary groups. Location and Property Gostart operatcs from Unil 6 in South Suffolk Business Ccntre, Sudbury, where we hav¢ an olTi¢c and outdoor parking for our six vehicles. The office and parking area are all renl¢d from Babergli Districl Coun¢il, via iheir managing ageiits, NWES. GOSTART PEOPLE Trustees wish to record their appreciation of the efforts of the Charity's staff and volunteers toward delivering the aims and objectives noted above. As a small local Charity ihis past year has seen Gostart struggle with ihe itnpact of staff changes. Some of our long service volunteer drivers retired which furthcr compli¢at¢d the process of handling bookings for our two larg¢r v¢hiel¢s which requires the increasingly rare DI Classification on the driver's license. One of our two experienced Office administrators also reached retirement age. Although we were lucky to find an ¢K¥¢ll¢nt r¢pla¢¢m¢nt in tim¢ for a short handover, the inevitabl¢ period of acclimatisation to our unique syslems meant some disruption. Most damaging to Gostart was the ditTiculties experiei)ced in replacing the overall teain and operation manageinent duties of our Founder, John Phillips, wl)o died in 2024. Johii undertook these duties as a volunteer in addition to his responsibilities as a Trust¢¢. During this past year, GoStat1 Trustee twice appointed a paidtr part-time Manager who resigned aftcr jusl a few w¢eks in the role. The impact of this on the Cliarity should not be ignored as the first few weeks of sucli an importanl role are invariably a whirlwind of induction, iiitroductions and familiarisation. Thanks io funding from Babergh Districl coun¢il. the cost of this abortive activity did not direcily impact our results. Indeed. we were abl¢ to fund some extra work and responsibilities for the other staff to see us through. Happily, toward the end of the year we were able lo appoint a Development Offi¢er on 8 6 month fixed temi cotttract lo facilitate action on some of the more pressing manager responsibilities, (like rc¢ruitii)ent of more volunteers). This individual applied for, and has been offered, the Service Manag¢r role with effeci from April 2026 $0 Tntstecs arc optimistic that the 26-27 year will see an iiiiproveincnl in thc Charity's performance.. Our office administrators continue to provide effective management of the office in¢luding bookings, vehicle allocation and all the general day-to-day offic¢ adininistration. There are four Irustces and we are always looking for new trustees to strengthen our team. All our 20 drivers are volunteers, we also have a couple of volunt¢¢rs who travel as passenger assistants.
