## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Nature of governing document**_ 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity. It is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association, incorporated on 14/11/2005 most recently amended by special resolution dated 20/04/2020. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £10. 

## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ 

We advertise on Chairtyjobs.co.uk, social media and local news outlets. Applications are welcomed via email or letter to our Chairman. The Chairman discusses all applications with Trustees and selects based on lived experience and skills. Applicants are interviewed and matched against the Board of Trustee's criteria. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## _**Objects and aims**_ 

To promote conservation and protection of the environment by promoting the use of methods of transport which will have the least impact on the environment. 

The Sustainable Travel Collective is a charity promoting and encouraging the development and use of sustainable forms of travel by influencing behaviour change and delivering travel related products and services to a wide range of local communities, from businesses to small neighbourhood groups. In doing this, communities will benefit economically and socially from reduced cost, reduced congestion, increased accessibility, improved environments, better health and well-being and enhanced social cohesion.

## **Trustees' Report** 

This year we supported over 2,500 young people through Bikeability in schools as well as delivering Holiday Activity Fund activities, supporting young people through school holidays. Our work with delivering walking interventions has progressed well, with a training development hub being developed to train our own Walk Leaders. We continue to support beneficiaries in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, with expanded activities across the Nottinghamshire area within Ashfield, Broxtowe and other districts. 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

Our activities provide opportunities to support the conservation of the environment, including clear air, reduced congestion and improved health and wellbeing. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Financial review** 

This year has been a challenging year. Overhead costs have increased significantly and applying for grant funding is becoming increasingly competitive. However, we have made good progress in diversifying our funder base and broadening our community reach. We continue to work to engage with new funders and donors, aiming to reduce our reliance on grant funding in future years. Several of our core grant funders have themselves been under significant pressure this year, which has caused bottle necks in funding allocation and reduced availability. 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

The minimum reserves required is £18,000. We aim to increase this to £60,000 within 3 years from 31st March 2024, to cover 2 - 3 months operating costs and increasing liabilities with staff retention. Growth of this fund is essential to stabilise the charity. Any funds in excess of the cost of dissolution will be used to ensure we look at every alternative before dissolution of the charity. 

The reserves policy is reviewed annually and the next review will take place in February 2025. At the time of writing the reserves balance is £22,512.

## **Trustees' Report** 

## **Statement of Responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Sustainable Travel Collective Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Small companies provision statement** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006. 

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on .................... and signed on its behalf by: 26.11.2024

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Sustainable Travel Collective Ltd ('the Company')** 

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Sustainable Travel Collective Ltd ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Sustainable Travel Collective Ltd** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Sustainable Travel Collective Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. 

## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** 

Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## _**Gift aid**_ 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

## **Sustainable Travel Collective Ltd** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of all tangible fixed assets with a cost exceeding £500 over their expected useful lives on a straight line basis 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Furniture & equipment|20% straight line|
|Computer equipment|33% straight line|
|Bicycles|33% straight line|



## **Stock** 

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO). 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

Page 10 



## **Sustainable Travel Collective Ltd** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
