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..
The National Lottery, Access for All
The David and Jill Siinpson Fund, at Suffolk Community Foundation
A number of local Parish Councils
During this past year, Trustees also undertook controls and processes to ensure the Sustainability of the
Charity, including:
* Review of the Reserves Policy
* Extending the analysis of restricted funds
* Introducing Ihc use of designated (unrestricted) funds
* Developing the budget process to include targets for new sources of self-gener&led income
Reserves poliey
During the year Trustees reviewed their policy on reserves and confirmed ihe policy lo hold reserved funds
equivalent to 3 months operating costs.

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.

VEHICLES
We currently own six vehi¢les, all adapted for use by our membcrs/pass¢ngers. All are in good working

service under an agreement which mcels the standards required by the Dft for vehicles carr}'iiig passengers.
Our 5 older vehicles are diesel powered; we are very aware of the iieed for replacements in near future.
At tim¢ of wriling ihis repori, we are pleased to say that, after th¢ end of the 2025-26 year, we were offered a
grant by Ihe Nalional Lottery Communi1ies Fund, Reaching Coinmunities proj¢¢t- to replace our oldesL
highest mileage diesel minibus with our second, new, ¢le¢tric vehicle.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Irusiees re¢ognise and understand their duty to identify and minimise any risks to whicli the cliarity is
exposed. The Iruslee5 have to ensure that appropriate supervision and conlrols are pul in place in order to
provide reasonable assurance against fraud or any actions whicl) may cause damage to the charity. Our risk
assessment process now n]ns to 26 items, none of which are ￿SeSSed as "¢ritical" or "high risk" 6 are
assessed as mediwn risk, as follows..
* Failure to meet budget for self gen¢rat¢d in¢ome
* Failure to meel budget for new revenue grants
* Al risks
* Need to move 0￿]CeS
* Insuffi¢ient volunteers
